Who Needs Flowers? Suthin Bonsai Before & Mostly After 3/29/15

After. This Bougainvillea is a uniquely compelling bonsai with or without flowers. Still, it would be nice to see it in full bloom, We’ll keep our eyes open and let you know. All the trees and the photos in this post belong to Suthin Sukosolvisit.

Just the other day I wrote that Suthin Sukosolvisit is one of the great American bonsai artists. We could amend that to one of the world’s great bonsai artists. This post and all our numerous other posts featuring Suthin’s bonsai help support this contention. Further support can be found by visiting Suthin on facebook and his website.

Before. Could this be the same Bougainvillea? This photo and the one above are from facebook.

 

ficus

A powerful, freshly defoliated Willow leaf ficus. Over the years I can’t help but notice how much Suthin favors Willow leaf ficus (other trees to be sure but Willow leafs are a consistent theme). This photo is from facebook.

Suthin may be best known for his Shohin bonsai displays. BTW, that’s another Willow leaf ficus bottom left. Like the photo just above, this photo is also from Suthin’s website and was also taken by Joe Noga.
