Fall colors

Hi, everbody!

I'm risking to be repetitious, however, ironically many of the trees slotted for the exhibition in the previous thread started to shed leaves prior to the exhibition, and it seems that they deserve to be shown in full fall colors against better background before a long winter brake here They are all bare by now.....

Cheers,

Andrei

elm

Passes quickly but what a flash of color.

By the way I love the pot with the Chinese elm. Works perfectly - all the characters with the Chinese Elm and the blue with the yellow leaves. What's the history of that pot?

This time of the year again. Beautiful Andrei. Good to see so many deciduous in a bonsai world overwhelmed with conifers.
Below a few from my spot shot the last days.

Hi Morten, Andrei and all,

Morten do you have any pics of your little haw?

Andrei, the hawthorn is just sublime.

Fantastic color, Andrei! I especially like the Zelkova and Ginkgo.

Thanks Rui. The Hawthorn is in the field, because it has suffered from the heavy freezing in the past two winters. Lets see later if it survives.

Wonderfull! Thanks for posting.

Rob, very pertinent question indeed! Bonsai pots are not made commercially by anybody in Russia. However, sometimes one may come across in garden shops, etc. pots that look like a replica of a bonsai pot. Normally they are just ugly and insuitable for bonsai or any plant for that matter (no drainage holes, etc.). This is indeed the only exception to the rule, a nice combination of the shape, surface pattern and color. The elm was potted in it just before the exhibition to create contrast with yellow leaves... and it worked!

Thanks!

Andrei

Morten, thanks! From your photos I almost feel how autumn is much nicer in your part of the world!

Rui, thanks! This hawthorn is quite memorable to me! This is the only yamadory that I brought from an official business trip ever! That was many years ago when I visited Moldova as part of the World Bank team....
