This photo was taken to emphasis the flowers, rather than the tree. If you were to take a photo of this tree when it's not in flower, you'd take it a from a point a little lower to better show the powerful trunk and nebari. Sometimes photos just seem to appear on my desktop without any reference. This is the case here, so my apologies for failure to attribute this multi-hued Satsuki azalea to its rightful owner (best guess; Japanese owner).
Today, it’s just a few colorful shots to brighten up your mid-winter experience.
Got a strange old pot lying around that just won't work with any of your trees? Here's Michael Hagedorn's solution. We'll call it Narcissus in a bonsai-ish pot.
This colorful tree-pot match is from our 2014 bonsai calendar. There aren't a lot of trees that can handle such a brilliant pot. Judging by the berries and the bark, I'd say it's a Japanese winterberry (Ilex serrata).
We don't usually show pieces of bonsai, but when we do, we call it art. This photo is a part of the cover of our 2013 bonsai calendar.
There's a reason for these chopped up calendar photos; in most cases, our scanner is too small to fit the whole tree and my photoshop skills are lacking when it comes to piecing scans together in a non-butchered way. This one is from our 2016 bonsai calendar (now 50% off at Stone Lantern).
This colorful shot is from our 2016 Japanese garden calendar (now 50% off).
This photo has less to do with color and more to do with an amazing tool; our new Green T Bonsai Turntable. BTW: you might recognize the tree. We showed it just the other day.
