We featured this dramatic Sierra juniper here on Bark back in January. This time though, after a long journey from the wilds of the Sierra Nevadas to Ryan Neil's Bonsai Mirai, it's made the national bonsai news.
We just got an email announcement from The Pacific Bonsai Museum: Here it is, almost word for word:
“The Pacific Bonsai Museum proudly announces its first acquisition, a Sierra Juniper by rising bonsai artist Ryan Neil of St. Helens, Oregon. The acquisition was made possible by a generous gift from The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation. Here’s a link to the press release for the acquisition and several high resolution photos.”
Outdoor display at the Pacific Bonsai Museum.
This wild and wonderful Hornbeam originally belonged to Dan Robinson, and now resides at the Pacific Bonsai Museum. It was also featured here on Bark back in 2012. The photo is from Bonsai Otaku (little trees for big geeks).
