I like the way the fresh foliage seems to hang from the tree's ancient bones (though I'm not sure I've ever seen a stand so in need of refinishing). This strikingly unique bonsai is one of many excellent trees at Taiwan Bonsai World.
Ayyyy! Chaos. We upgraded our OS recently and it has been all downhill since. If I owe you an email or phone call, thank you for your patience! Things should be back to normal soon (not that normal isn’t chaotic enough).
The good news is, so far our website and our warehouse are functioning quite well. This mostly has to with dumb luck and smart Ric (our warehouse manager).
Due to the above mentioned chaos there’s little time to put together new posts right now, so most of what you see here was borrowed from a post we did back in 2012.
Winter Cold & Tree Roots on Crataegus Bonsai. This is from 2012, but the best bonsai wisdom is never really dated.
Golden Statements magazine. This one is Jan/Feb 2011, but no matter; all issues of Golden Statements are good.
A preview of our 2017 calendar? Actually it's a very old calendar that you can see along with a bunch of other fascinating old images and photos of bonsai (and related stuff) on the World Bonsai Friendship Federation site. It's a bit like visiting an art museum.
Tropical Bonsai Riches. This powerful bonsai logo is from Jose Rivera's Bonsai en el Tropico. You don't need to understand Spanish to enjoy the vast store of riches contained in this website, but it helps.
Little delicacies. These tasty little delicacies are from Horie Bikoh kiln in Japan. I found them on Morten Albek's Shohin Bonsai Europe (Morten is the author of Shohin Bonsai). In case you're feeling generous, I'm accepting early birthday gifts.
