Bonsai Art

The day has barely started and I’m already running out of superlatives. I guess ‘spectacular’ will do in this case. It’s a Korean hornbeam (Carpinus turczaninowii) by Ian Stewartson.

Kennst Du Bonsai Art?

This Korean mountain cherry (Prunus jamasakura) is from Bonsai Art’s website. The delicacy and beauty of the flowers contrasted with the power of the gnarly old trunk are typical of what you find on Bonsai Art’s website and especially in their magazine (I’ve long thought that it’s the benchmark bonsai magazine when it comes to [...]
