Nagahama Bonbaiten 2010

Nagahama is about three hours outside Tokyo, and puts on an annual "Potted Plum Exhibition" at Keiunkan, a former imperial rest house built in 1887. The rest of my full-size Nagahama photos, including the vendor area, are here:

At least the first one of them I´ve showed (here) on old forum.

I don't have enough superlatives! I especially like the white, weeping cherry/plum.

But they're huge!

I am imagining the fragrance permeating the exhibit!

its beautiful

Absolutely amazing

Oh my God. It is hard to look on this pictures when when my prunus mume died last winter

Stunning!!! Thank you. I am enjoying my new 20 inch P. mume, v. 'Peggy Clarke', which arrived this week. The sweet spicy aroma is 'delicious'! I can only imagine what a room full of those large trees is like. Wow!
