This colorful tree is from the 2016 BCI - Philippines Bonsai Convention that was just held in Makita City last weekend. I borrowed the photo from Bill Valavanis bonsai blog.
Looks like I messed up yesterday’s post (Another ‘Newly Discovered’ Bonsai Artist). My apologies to all concerned.
I found out my mistakes when I received a note from a friend who knows the Philippine bonsai community a whole lot better than I do. Here’s part of his note:
“Jun Llaga is not a member of PBSI and did not conduct a demonstration at the BCI-Philippines Convention. Mr. Llaga is a member of another group, affiliated with the Black Scissors Community, that is independent of PBSI.
The picture you posted was from the First International Bonsai Biennale, held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (last fall).“
I hope this clears things up and again my apologies for the confusion.
