This exposed-roots pine is from the 2016 Bay Island Bonsai Exhibition. I borrowed the photo from Jeremiah Lee's Yenling Bonsai Blog. The caption reads: Started from seed by Morten in 2000 (that would be Morten Wellhaven).
The photos shown here are from Jeremiah Lee’s Yenling Bonsai Blog. They were taken at the 2016 Bay Island Bonsai Exhibition. Bay Island Bonsai is a Northern California Organization that was founded in 1998 by one of North America’s seminal bonsai teachers, Boon Manakitivipart (Bonsai Boon).
The Home Turf in the title is personal. I was born and spent many formative years in the Bay Area, and even though the traffic is horrific (compared to my adopted pristine Vermont) the connection is still palpable.
Japanese Red Pine. Few things lend a feeling of age to a bonsai more than funky bark.
This 'Kifu' size Sierra juniper belongs to Jeremiah.
An unidentified flowering tree. Could it be a cherry?
No identification with this one either, but it's obviously an Olive. A common tree in Northern California.
Looks like a Shimpaku juniper. Jeremiah's caption reads: Originally grown by Jim Gremel. Hope I can make some like this down the road.
Another mystery tree. We'll leave the guessing to you.
