I like everything about this Japanese white pine and its Moon pot. Except maybe the clutter on the left, the color was enhanced a bit too much, no variety is given and there's no attribution. Still, it's a beautiful bonsai that I'm happy to share.
As the whole world migrates to social media, so goes bonsai. People and groups that used to have websites and blogs now appear only on facebook. Which is where I found the photos shown here and where we get about half the material for this blog (which also appears on facebook, of course).
In this case, our source presents both bonsai and Japanese gardens. We’ve occasionally shown that very mix here, and there is an obvious link. Though I’m not sure most bonsai lovers spend that much time or energy exploring Japanese gardens.
Because our source doesn’t attribute or link their sources (this is common on social media), we’ll follow suit and do the same (this makes me a little nervous, considering how many times I’ve pointed out the importance of attribution… still, there is some justice)
Though you might want to do something about the crossing main branches, nevertheless the connection with bonsai and garden tree pruning (Niwaki) is obvious.
