		<title>Great Photos, Great Trees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shimpaku with fan. The photo is from Kennett Bonsai&#8217;s Wall Photos on facebook. Photos that are worthy of the trees It&#8217;s always good to see well-photographed quality bonsai. Many photos (especially on facebook) are hastily shot, often with little consideration for things like background, lighting and other elements that go into quality photography. In this [...]]]></description>

		<title>California Shohin Seminar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This little gem was lifted from BUNJINJOURNAL.COM. It’s from the 2010 California Shohin Society Seminar in Santa Nella. Better late&#8230; Don&#8217;t know how this happened, but we almost missed this one. The California Shohin Society is holding its famous biennial seminar in Santa Nella this weekend. I know it&#8217;s late, but it&#8217;s a great event [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rocky Mountain Juniper High</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dazzling deadwood. I think I see a live vein on the left edge of the trunk. Otherwise, this spectacular old specimen is a study in deadwood (with a little rebar thrown into the mix). It&#8217;s a Rocky Mountain juniper. The artist and owner is Ryan Neil, International Bonsai Mirai. The tree was originally collected by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekly Wire: Marco&#8217;s Before &amp; After, Our Favorite Book &amp; A Fabulous Fake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before and after. It helps to start with great stock. Still, it takes a skilled hand to successfully tackle such powerful tree. The artist is Marco Invernizzi.and as you may have noticed, the after is just right. It&#8217;s a Japanese black pine. It&#8217;s from the &#8216;before and after&#8217; section of Marco&#8217;s website. &#160; &#160; Whatever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lime Sulfur: A Story with a Happy Ending</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How many bottles of lime sulfur were used on this monster? I find this tree to be compelling in so many ways (much has to do with shear size, power &#38; no small amount of detail). Still, is the foliage a little too manicured and the deadwood overwrought? I&#8217;m sure there are some purists out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bonsai Paradise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this wonderfully convoluted beast belongs to Yusuf Sirait; at least it appears on his facebook page. It&#8217;s a Pemphis acidula (Santigi). Bonsai paradise I wonder just how common naturally contorted wild bonsai stock are on the islands of Indonesia. Based on what I&#8217;ve seen online and elsewhere, it&#8217;s easy to get the impression [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekly Wire: Ancient Bones &amp; the Wheel of Bonsai Wisdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ancient bones. I like the way the fresh foliage seems to hang from the tree&#8217;s ancient bones (though I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve ever seen a stand so in need of refinishing). This strikingly unique bonsai is one of many excellent trees at Taiwan Bonsai World. Free Advertising! What if you could advertise your bonsai event [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eighty Two and Still Going Strong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve ever seen a bunjin style bonsai in such a deep pot. You almost always see them in shallow round or near-round pots. No problem though, this one works to perfection; a spectacular tree with a simply lustrous pot. I think the heavy foliage (unusual for a bunjin) helps balance the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Cozy Companion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ve ever seen a potted companion sitting on the soil surface of a larger bonsai. I found the photo on facebook (unattributed, which seems to be a norm). I think the companion is a Mondo grass. Is the tree a Serissa? Just a quickie this time I&#8217;m still trying to catch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backyard Bonsai Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Backyard Bonsai #12 This is the 12th post in our long and venerable (all the way back to 2009) Backyard Bonsai tradition (here&#8217;s the 11th). In their own way, each backyard is uniquely compelling; a reflection of human tastes and lifestyles, and also a reflection of culture. In this case the culture is Italian, which [...]]]></description>
