The other day we featured a bonsai hedge by Joe Selworthy (Dan Barton's talented twin) and now here's another one with this caption: "Picture of my first Cotoneaster hedge with Deshojo maple which I sold several years ago." Though you can't tell from here, there's some impressive detail on and around the little fence under the maple (see below).
Recognize this tree? It's a Cheng, Cheng-Kung Shimpaku juniper that we featured last week. Here's part of our caption: ...there's something very unusual going on here. Not that I expect you to read my mind, but still, the first person to do just that and email me about it, will receive a 25.00 Gift Certificate to Stone Lantern. And here's what Alexander Hoffman wrote "I think that the way that the foliage is draped over and around the deadwood is quite unusual." Which is exactly what I was thinking.
Looks like I might have some more egg on my face. Here's Rob Kempinski's comment (on facebook) about this crazy bicycle & broomstick bonsai that we featured last week: "Photoshop can do wonders and would be a good idea if it was real." One of these days I'll remember that we're living in the 21st century.
Here's that detail I was talking about. I'm wondering if Joe/Dan made both the cat and the watering can (in real life Dan Barton is an accomplished ceramic artist).
