Maybe someone can help identify the owner of this most excellent swirling cascade juniper. It’s from the Noelander’s Trophy, 2013. You can see more photos from the show on Crataegus bonsai (and various other places). Speaking of the Noelanders’ Trophy, Marc Noelanders will be one of the featured artists at Brussel’s Rendezvous (see below).
Why isn’t your event featured here? In March Bonsai Bark was visited 56,000 times (19,000 of those were unique). This being the case, Bark is probably a pretty good place to advertise your upcoming bonsai event. Especially considering it’s free. The best way to do this is to put your event in the comments below (preferably with a link) and we’ll do the rest.
This rough, but full-of-potential Japanese winterberry (Ilex serrata) is from New England Bonsai Garden’s website.
April 13th. If you are anywhere near Massachusetts or Rhode Island (or if you don’t mind traveling a bit) you would be well served to visit New England Bonsai Garden’s Spring Member’s Day April 13th, which happens to be next Saturday. And don’t worry if you aren’t yet a member, it’s easy to join.
May 2nd – 5th. We don’t have a link for this event, but the Puerto Rico Bonsai Club Mayagüez chapter is holding its annual bonsai exhibition at Mayaguez Mall on May 2 to May 5 2013
May 18th – 19th. The Midwest Bonsai Society is hosting its 9th Annual Spring Bonsai Show at the Chicago Botanic Garden, May 18th and 19th.
A little piece of the excellent, ever-expanding stroll garden at Shin-Boku Nursery, home of some of the best landscape trees in the world.
May 25th – 27th. Enjoy plentiful refreshments, friendly people and a huge selection of world-class specimen landscape trees at Shin-Boku Nursery’s annual open house, deep in the heart of the great state of New Hampshire.
This Ficus neriifolia belongs to Ed Trout, who is one of the featured bonsai artists at this year’s Bonsai Rendezvous at Brussel’s Bonsai. It looks like the tree was styled using the clip-and-grow technique, but it’s the octapus-like way the roots are clinging to the side of the rock that really got my attention.
May 24, 25, 26th. “Great bonsai, fabulous food and Southern hospitality” await you at Brussl’s Annual Rendezvous. I reckon that when they say “great bonsai”, they’re including this year’s dynamic cast of featured bonsai artists.
The Portland Bonsai Society is having its annual show at the Portland Japanese Garden on April 20-21, featuring bonsai by some of the best amateur bonsai artists in the United States whose trees have been featured in the National Exhibition in Rochester.
