Silky Smooth 7/17/17

pot

We cropped the original photo (just below) so we could get a closer look at both the extraordinary pot and the heart of this magnificent tree. We don't know the variety, but thanks to Silky Jemiran, we do know that the owner is Tri Djoko Endro Susilo.

Yesterday’s Root Over Rock Bonsai with Sherlock Holmes featured a handful of excellent tropical bonsai photos that we borrowed from Silky Jemiran. We liked what we saw, so we’ll just keep going in the same direction.

As we mentioned yesterday, we liked Silky’s habit of listing the owner of each tree (something that is often lacking on social media), and though it turns out that he isn’t able to do it with every tree he features, he does get most of them. However, there is no mention of varieties, and given time constraints, we’ll leave it at that. Enjoy!

Tri Djoko Endro Susilo

Here it is in all its glory.

All the photos shown here are from Silky Jemiran‘s facebook photos.

Here's a familiar friend. You may recognize the distinctive hand and eye of Robert Steven, an old favorite here on Bark. We've shown it before at least once, but it's been a while and like the rest of Robert's trees, it's worth another look.

 

Budi Sulistyo

Here's one that combines power and elegance. The owner is Budi Sulistyo, another old friend. No variety is listed, but we're leaning toward Ficus

 

Gedemerta Bonsaibali

If you know Gedemerta (Bonsai Bali) you recognize this rugged masterpiece as one of his. It's another one we've shown before, but it's been a while.

Perfection. I love this powerfully compact little gem. It's the only tree shown in this post that doesn't have an owner listed.

Another of Robert Steven's trees. I'm pretty sure it's a Bark veteran, but it's been a while, and again, it's worth another look and it fits right in with our recent root-over-rock theme.
