I kind of figured you would.

Thanks for posting. There are some very fine trees in Southern California. It would be great to see a few make it to the US National Exhibition.

It would be nice to see some in the National Exhibit but transportation is a b**** and there's always a risk they won't let it back in the state.

Thank you for posting!! some great trees..i know you had fun...take care john

Yes thank you for taking the time to post these for us, You guys sure grow some righteous Pomegranates down there. I particularly like the cascade Pom hanging on to his one fruit!

Sounds strange, but this is my favorite time of year for bonsai, one can really enjoy seeing the work that gets done during the growing season. The Chinese elm is an old tree.

Wish I could find an apricot that size!!

Thanks for sharing Bob.

@ Bob, I was at the show earlier and took a ton of photos, would you mind if I share them here with all? I don't want to appear like I'm hijacking your post....

Great bonsai. Thanks for sharing Bob.

That would be a major bummer.

Not at all go for it. Sorry I missed you.

Not strange at all I agree. I think someone is missing the apricot from their back yard.

Excellent, give me a few minutes to upload, they are quite large MB's wise.

Thanks to Bob Pressler for allowing me to share the pictures I took while at the exhibition on his (this) thread.

Thanks for sharing these pics!
Can you post a pic of your Bougainvillea?

and as long as your taking requests, will you post a close up of the Chojubai in bloom oregato...

Sorry Dick no close up of the chojubai...

If anyone is interested I have photos posted on my blog of most of the trees in the show.http://bonsaibpsbonsaiblog-bonsai.blogspot.com/

thanks Bob....you know what i like about this show, I didn't have the impression that the trees were pressed together like in other shows I've seen. The trees had their own space. I liked the feeling it gave....

Yeah it's nice. Each display had it's own 8' table.
