CLUB MEETING Aug 8

I just took a few photos at our August meeting.
These first two are of Ron's wind swept juniper, which was originally styled by Kanemi many years ago.

This is the back side of the tree.


Here we see the tree from the front side. The moss on the rock makes this bonsai appear very old


George checking out this black pine in nursery container. The tree looks a little anemic . George recommenced giving this tree more light.



Keith brought in these two olive trees.

OBON FESTIVAL

Our club display this year was small but very impressive. Below is a sample of some of the trees .


CALIFORNIA JUNIPER
I love the trunk on this one.


BOXWOOD
Nice tapper on this trunk.


CYPERESS
The hollowed out trunk give this tree a lot of character.


ELM
The flowing curve of this trunk in very nice.


BOXWOOD
Beautifull wide base on this tree, which almost fills the drum pot.

FOEMINA JUIPER
This massive bonsai transports me to the times I visited the redwoods.


GINKO
The lush green in this forest are accented by the green pot.
