Though this extraordinary bonsai is unidentified (and unattributed), still I'm confident that it's a Japanese beech. I'm also confident that it makes its home in Japan. For a little perspective on just how massive this tree is, there's that partial human torso on the right. The original shows the whole human, but I've taken the liberty to slice him up a bit in an attempt to limit distraction (the original is below).
All the photos shown here were posted by Tae-Kukiwon-Bonsai (aka Eduardo Mourão Guedes) and even though they are unnamed and unattributed, I couldn’t resist.
In case you are wondering, they come from a number of sources and as far as I know, none actually belong to Tae-Kukiwon-Bonsai, though I can’t be sure. In Mr. Guedes defense, he does mention that he doesn’t know the sources and asks his reader to let him know if they do (in Portuguese). Also to his credit, he posts phenomenal trees.
This delicate flowering beauty looks a lot like a New Zealand Tea tree (Leptospermum scoparium).
This dynamic twisty pine with its perfectly chosen pot is the first one that caught my eye. I was going to lead this post with it until I saw the Beech.
Looks like an Needle juniper (and looks familiar too). Like the Beech above, I'll venture that it makes its home Japan.
Is this an Hinoki forest? Whatever it is, it's a perfectly natural looking masterpiece. And again, I'd bet it's Japanese.
Uncropped. I don't know who he is, but I'd bet his mind was blown when he first saw this exquisite monster up close and personal. Photos are great, but they almost never do justice.
