Kusamura Bonsai Club Show and Sale . . .

Post by Cereusly »

. . . today in Palo Alto, CA. All beautiful plants, and one comes to appreciate the time, patience, and discipline needed to arrive at this result. The pictures would have been much better if the flash wasn't needed. The Sale Plants were reasonable priced from $15 - $95. Tony

Love the wisteria!

I noticed that right away too. I was wondering if they would have entered it if it wasn't in bloom. Seems it could take first place with ease while blooming, but probably wouldn't even place if not. :-k

Wow, I noticed the wisteria too. My neighbor in PA had one that was probably around 50 years old that looked sorta like that but of course MUCH much bigger.

As for the blooming part, I am not sure.
would still be cool without blooms if you ask me.


I tried to make a bonsai once, but got frustrated and now its about 15 feet tall hahaha
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

Tony, thanks for showing us the show. I really wished I could make it, but my stupid schedule wouldn't let me squeeze it in. :?

When will they have another show?
