		<title>Book Review for a Unique &amp; Exceptional New Bonsai Book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following review of Bill Valavanis&#8217; new Classical Bonsai Art is borrowed from Andy Rutledge&#8217;s Bonsai Journal. Andy has a knack for digging into books and bringing out nuggets of gold. In this vein (sorry bout that) Andy&#8217;s reviews include good and bad (his own words) sections, though the latter doesn&#8217;t really apply in this [...]]]></description>

		<title>FREE Advertising &amp; A Few Small Complaints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Juniper is from the &#8216;Before and After&#8217; section on Suthin Sukosolvisit&#8217;s Bonsai Studio. Suthin is one of the headliners at the GSBF Convention XXXVI (below). Would you like to see your bonsai event featured here? If so, here&#8217;s the deal; we need at least one good link, otherwise, we&#8217;re not going to bother. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Full Floral Assualt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whoops! My mistake. This tree is from Bill Valavanis&#8216; excellent new book &#8216;Classical Bonsai Art&#8217; (stay posted, it will be here next week). It belongs to Robert Blankfield, who originally styled it at a workshop with Bill. I found the tree on the web (unattributed, so I&#8217;ve deleted that link) and didn&#8217;t know its origin.

		<title>Three Famous Bonsai Books Are Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These three popular Haskill Creek bonsai books are back in print after being gone for about a year. One of the great things about these books is that each topic is completely unique. You simply won&#8217;t find the subjects covered in any other bonsai books. To thank you for your patience, we are offering these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bonsai &amp; Some Great Stories Unearthed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This photo is originally from the from Kokufu-ten 47 (1973) and came to us via Owen Reich&#8217;s Bonsai Unearthed. We&#8217;ve been discussing root-on-rock bonsai lately, and by extension root-over-rock bonsai, and you must admit that this is a worthy and very unusual example of the latter (I&#8217;ll guess that it&#8217;s a Trident maple). Also, when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Study Bonsai in the Old Country</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;ve seen this powerful little White pine-over-rock somewhere, and wonder if it hasn&#8217;t appeared right here on Bonsai Bark (a quick search unearthed nothing, but that&#8217;s no guarantee). It&#8217;s from the Fujikawa International School of Bonsai website. This post is about your chance to study at the Fujikawa International School of Bonsai, enjoy [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Beast of Bare-Boned Bonsai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Japanese beech forest on a curved slab. From Bonsai Today issue 24. Artist unknown. Japanese beech (Fagus crenata), with their striking white bark, strong trunks (often with excellent nebari) and beautiful smallish leaves, are a favorite of many bonsai artists, especially in Japan. Unfortunately, they aren&#8217;t that easy to find her in North America and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great Bonsai, Great Photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve featured this tree before, but now I can&#8217;t find it (read, just back from vacation, too much to do and don&#8217;t want to be bothered). It looks kinda Ilex like, but neither my guessing skills nor my memory are up to much. Anyway, it&#8217;s a great little tree (if you can take your eyes [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Quick Study in Deadwood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s all about the deadwood (and the crown). Deadwood is sometimes overplayed, especially on Shimpaku. But even though the deadwood is dominant on this tree, the powerful and well constructed crown offers a good sense of balance. All three photos in this post are from Marco Invernizzi&#8217;s website. I&#8217;m still on vacation, so we&#8217;ll make [...]]]></description>
