In the Bonsai/Penjing Museum in Yangzhou they had a pictorial exhibit about Bonsai around the world. In the North American area we found a photo of a tree by Jim Smith of Florida. Our Brevard delegation had to have a picture. Jim's tree is shown at the top of the photo.

Billy, you look like a scene out of - Ecce Homo [ this man ]
Great hand pose.

Here are some more trees from display in China.

This one was very dramatic. A Hackberry. Yet note the stand and soil preparation.



We nicknamed the next one, the Kodomo Dragon.


A very ethereal tree.

Wow, hubba, hubba! What a hackberry !
Well I have a few American hackberries in the grow trough, perhaps I should try something like that around 15 inches [ 38 cm ]

Hmm that trunk, those roots, that bend - risky.

One thing about the Chinese, they can be so imaginative.
Thanks Rob.

My wife, Carla, got a some shots of trees. The first is in Guangzhou and I don't think Rob or I posted it. The second is outdoors in Nanjing.
