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.

GINKO FOREST

In this months CLUB MEETING post, I included a photo of my Ginko forest, and said it was do to be re-potted. This is the results, thanks to Kanemi. He had this tray in the nursery and re-potted it for me. We removed one of the original trees and added three new ones.

What an improvement.

"THANK YOU Kanemi."

BONSAI WORK SHOP Mar 20

George has negotiated monthly use of the Trilogy arts & craft building for our club meetings. In exchange for the use of this facility our club will conduct a quarterly bonsai work shop for the Trilogy residents.

I thought this first work shop went very well. George brought in pruning scissors, and some of his terrific 1 gallon junipers. It was fun to help out and bring the joy of bonsai to many enthusiastic attendees. Every one went home with a nice bonsai and many bought a second tree to work on at home. I was having so much fun helping with the trees that I almost forgot to take photos. I took these few photos at the end of the work shop.
