Bright yellow flowers and a light yellow pot makes for a soft contrast. Haruyosi doesn't identify this little gem, but the flowers look a lot like Potentilla. Though the yellow Potentilla I have in my yard has much smaller leaves relative to the flowers.
We’ll continue with tiny bonsai today, though not all are by Shohin master Haruyosi, who we’ve been featuring lately (I originally wrote tiny bonsai master Haruyosi, but that doesn’t work so well).
Yesterday we featured freshly trimmed Shimpaku juniper by Haruyosi, now it's a freshly trimmed Ezo spruce (aka Yezo spruce), also by Haruyosi. I love how much age is expressed in such a small tree. I think it's a lot about the rugged bark, but the thick, well-tapered little trunk and the little jin sticking up also lend to the effect.
Here's rugged little juniper that does not belong to Haruyosi. It's one of Morten Albek's fine collection of Shohin bonsai.
This brilliant little Persimmon (Daisuke variety, identified by Ryan Bell, Japanese Bonsai Pots Blog) is a bonsai that pops up all over the digital place. I think we've shown it at least four, if not five times here Bark. I don't know who the artist is.
Harkening all the way back to yesterday, here's one more freshly trimmed Shimpaku. And though I know you don't need me to point out what is plain to see, still, that fat twisted trunk is quite impressive on such a small tree. What is less obvious is the jin that's just barely sticking out from under the foliage.
