Do you know Lodder in the Netherlands ?

Hi all.

That's plenty! Thanks for all the great images.

When were these photos taken?

Hello Jeffrey,

In year 2007.

The tree that is 6 images up, i think its a shimpaku juniper? Do you know how big that tree is? By the looks of the foliage the tree does not look to be more than a foot. What a BEAUTIFUL tree. This place sells trees? Some of the stands are very creative also. Thanks for sharing.

Neil

love the pine in the 20th pic.

Thanks for posting all these great photos.

No, I don't know Lodder, Is is a nursery, show or person or all of the above.

PS Did you write some sort of program to help you load these images.? The process here is so kludgy it would take hours to load all these photos. Thanks again.

Those are huge greenhouses. The trees are so gorgeous I specially like the shohin ones.
Thanks for sharing.

I was at the show at the time.
Yes you are right the juniper is shohin size.
This was a Dutch bonsai association show (when i am correct) in the exhibition space of Hoka En - Lodder.
They import indoors and outdoor bonsai, and selling to dealers as well as the public.
Got some nice trees from them.

The Trident in the bright green glazed pot is a charmer! The display stands are lovely. That greenhouse is huge!
Thanks for posting. Yes, what season were the trees displayed? Spring? or were they forced for this show?
Best, Todd

Lodder / Hoka -En has 3 shows every year. The first on their "open house" days in March, an azalea show in May and the last one during their "end of year" sales usually around the end of November beginning of December.
During the open house days there is also an indoor market with everything bonsai and related to it. Amongst other things a lot of international potters and demonstrations by international masters.
The display shows are usually from dutch bonsaiclubs or mixed with their own trees.

These days are always busy and you have to find your way between people from all over europe.
Even though the greenhouses are huge (5 in total), it can get crowded in the aisles
