Sunip,

Taiwanese bonsai has special character. They have developed their own style and are always looking for ways to evolve and better their styling skills. I will plan to share more insights in the future.

Warm regards,

Jose Luis

Jose Luis,

Jun,

Later on, I will post some shohin bonsai. Because of the popularity they are gaining nowadays, it is hard to ignore them!!!

Has the date for the ABFF been decided? Will it finally be in November?

Warm regards,

Jose Luis

Yes Jose Luis. November it is.

Jose Luis, I can't begin to tell you how much I look forward to and appreciate the pictures you post from Taiwan. These bonsai have a look and feel all their own and simply take my breath away. The fact that those junipers where created by the hands of man and not Mother Nature is hard to believe. And the variety of material, that gardenia and bottle brush, I'm just speechless!

Thanks again, you can NEVER post too many pictures for me!

Russell,

Thanks for the kind words. I actually posted the Camellia with you in mind. Just for fun, I will post other Camellias that were featured in the show.

By the way, I purposely left out 99% of the ficus bonsai that were displayed. I want people to look at the inmense variety of trees Tawian has to offer.

Warm regards,

Jose Luis

Stunning trees and great variety...thanks so much for taking the time to do this! I'd also like to see some of the other camellias...
