Looks like a quince. I’ve said this before, but quince flowers are one of best things on earth. Really. People travel all over the place looking for beauty, when all they need is a flowering quince. This photo and the others in this post are from Haruyosi on facebook.
Haruyosi again. Maybe I should just turn this into his blog. But here’s the deal; his little bonsai are so sweet, beautiful and otherwise adjectival, that I just can’t resist. Particularly his flowering bonsai. Others too though. And his pots of course (he makes his own). Anyway, enjoy!
This time it’s the pot that caught my eye. Have you ever seen one like this little gem? Haruyosi makes his own pots and just like his trees, they speak volumes. BTW: I think the little tree is another quince. No flowers right now, but still…
Quince again. This is what happens when you know how to design a tree to show off the flowers.
This might be embarrassing. The flowers look like crabapple (or just apple) and the leaves look like quince. Though my powers of identification are often befuddled, we’ll go with the leaves (turns out white quince flowers and apple flowers are quite similar).
Here’s a white quince flower. It’s not from Haruyosi. It’s just something that turned up when I googled (binged) ‘white quince flower.’
I don’t know what this delicate little kusamono (shitakusa, companion) is. Nice pot.
Speaking of small bonsai. And, it so happens that we just started a big book sale 20% to 30% off.
I believe the 2nd photo is a barberry
I recommended Haruyosi a few posts ago, You must have liked his work because you have posted it a few times. He does do great work with plants & pots alike! Glad you like him!
That is why Bonsai is such a wonderful hobby. once it bites you, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Thanks Ken,
Now that you mention it, though the leaves look similar to quince, I do think I see at least one little thorn sticking out
