Monster Mash
Bud Fulton sent us this scary photo. He took it at the North Carolina Bonsai Expo in Asheville. We don't know who the tree belongs to, but we do know it's a yew (Taxus) and that it suits our annual Halloween post to a tee. Just got this note from Bill Valavanis... "The...
Before & After Bonsai – a ‘Grandiose’ Transformation
Before and after. The tree is a Lawson's cypress (Chaemacyparis Louïsiana 'Elwoodii'). Here's the caption copied directly from Michel Delen, our source for these photos... "Chaemacyparis Louïsiana 'Elwoodii' AFTER Grandioos Noelanders Marc." I’m impressed. The date on the before is Feb 8th of this year and the date on the...
Staying on Theme – Fall Bonsai Color
In addition to brilliant fall color, this Trident maple has almost everything you'd want in a bonsai; a massive trunk, fluid natural looking nebari, good lines, a well-matched pot and healthy green moss. The artist is German Gomez. Looks like this photo was shot in mid to late spring....
A Piece of Rebar, Some Nerve & More than a Little Skill
This before and after by David Benavente provides a look at what you can do with a piece of rebar, some nerve, and more than a little skill. I originally posted this in 2010 and can longer find David's original, but if memory serves, the tree is a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)...
Spring Bonsai in Full Bloom
You don't see cascading Azalea bonsai all that often. This flowing full flowering favorite (sorry about that) is by Teunis Jan Klein. Speaking of Azaleas, we just received our spring shipment of Kanuma azalea bonsai soil Monday morning so we’ll make this quick. This post is borrowed from our archives (March 8,...
Bonsai Trifecta
This luminous little Japanese white pine belongs to Suthin. It's a winner, right down to the pot and the yellow-green moss. Continuing from yesterday with Suthin and pines. The three little trees in this post appeared here one year ago (March, 2017) and were originally from Suthin’s facebook photos Another strong little Japanese white...
More Tiny Trees from Our Mystery Bonsai Artist
A lot of age and character packed into such a small pot. I'm not sure what kind of tree it is. Perhaps and Ilex of some sort? Continuing with our unknown artist’s tiny trees from the other day and our love affair with small bonsai. A love affair that grows as we age...
Bonsai on Instagram – Great Trees, Great Stones
There's a lot going on with this one. Especially the two types of exposed roots - the long aerial roots growing down to the flat stone on the right, and the other set of roots fanning down the side of the large stone (the stone is another nice feature). I couldn't find the...
Japanese White Pines at Kokufu
Close up of multiple trunk Japanese white pine. It looks a lot like a raft style* planting. This and the other photos shown here were taken at the Kokufu Bonsai Exhibition. I cropped the original shot (just below) for a closer look We’ve got some Japanese white pines (Pinus parviflora)...
Forest Bonsai – Focal Point, Balance, Scale, Age & That Elusive Quality…
I stumbled across the European hornbeam (Carpinus betulas) by Walter Pall on his Bonsai Adventures blog. The shot looks like spring with some trees lagging behind others. Continuing with our multiple trunk theme (yesterday was Clump style, today is forests) and with Walter Pall (day before yesterday), we’ll go back in time once...
