Bonsai Before & After – A 7 Year Transformation
Before and after of one Harry Harrington's famous privets Vacationing this week with a little work thrown in, so to keep it simple we’ll resort to one from our archives (July of 2017)… It’s amazing what seven years and an ample supply of skill and imagination can do. The impressive transformation shown here...
More Bonsai Beans
The sweet little Japanese maple belongs to Hiroshi Kunii. Hiroshi calls the pot Maru (circle in Japanese). Continuing with tiny bonsai theme from yesterday…. I borrowed this post from June of last year. It’s definitely worth another look. The tiniest bonsai are called Mame in Japanese (bean in English) and the...
Is There a Best View for this Exceptional Japanese Maple?
One possible front view of a freshly leafing Japanese maple. But this is not just any Japanese maple; it's an exceptional one and it's in an exceptional (and probably very expensive) pot. I borrowed this photo and the others shown here from Michael Bonsai. Michael doesn't mention the artist or owner, but we'll give him a...
Rugged Bonsai in the Perfect Setting
The natural look. This photo captures two things I love about Eladan Gardens. The first is the rugged uncontrived feel that characterizes Dan Robinson's bonsai, and the second is the perfect setting. The tree is a Sierra juniper (Juniperus occidentalis). We seem to be stuck on Sierra junipers lately, but...
Before & After Bonsai – Rediscovering a Juniper’s Natural Beauty
Here's Tyler Sherrod's caption for a job well done.... "Just wired up this juniper for Joe Noga. He has owned this tree for about 30 years. It was grafted with kishu foilage by Mr. Mas Ishii of California. Another cool piece of history of bonsai in America." Monday morning and...
Extreme Bonsai
Perfect! The tree is a Savin juniper (Juniperus sabina) and you already know the painting. Before I realized that Gaicomo Pappalardo’s bonsai nursery is called Extreme Bonsai, I was taken with how unusual many of his trees are. Now it all make sense. Today we’ve got three of Gaicomo’s Junipers that caught...
A Most Unusual & Provocative Bonsai Extravaganza
I don't know how big this planting is, though I'm leaning toward pretty big. Impressive too with its sophisticated sense of depth (larger trees in front and smaller toward the back). Not to overlook the very large pot with its flowing lines and no doubt hefty price tag. This photo...
Boreal Bonsai King
One of Nick Lenz' famous larches. The larches we'll be offering this fall (see below) aren't this old or nearly this refined (Nick is in a league of his own), but they are off to a good start. Monday morning, the sun is shinning and buds are just starting to swell....
Backyard Bonsai #17
I like it when people offer a peek into their inner worlds. It's a generous act. This one belongs to Zdenek Svoboda. Zdenek lives in Skalica Slovakia, a place that's a mystery to me Picking up our Backyard Bonsai series with a visit to Zdenek Svoboda in Slovakia (via his timeline on fb). There are plenty...
