Sabina juniper from Harry Harrington's The Foundations of Bonsai (Stone Lantern Publishing North American edition). Harry's caption reads: "This Sabina juniper was collected from altitude in Spain. It grew in thin stony soil and would have been covered in a thick layer of snow for 4 months each year. As a result, despite being at least 100 years old, it is naturally very small." The pot is by Victor Harris of Erin Pottery. Height 6" (15cm) Spread 16" (41cm). The grainy effect is from our prehistoric scanner.

One of the main things I like about Harry Harrington’s approach to bonsai is that it is uniquely his own. Not that he hasn’t been influenced by the old and new bonsai artists from Asia and the West, because of course he has. But still, it’s obvious that he has maintained a strong respect for his own vision and artistry. Something for any artist to strive for.
Another thing I like about Harry’s approach is his desire and willingness to learn and teach as he goes. This is evident in The Foundations of Bonsai and everywhere else Harry’s writing and photos appear.
The Foundations of Bonsai is written for beginning to intermediate bonsai enthusiasts. In Harry’s view, this covers almost all of us. Very few of us are really advanced and almost anyone can learn from Harry’s bonsai skill and experience.
