Bonsai Brilliance Multiplied 4/8/17

Both the tree and the pot are brilliant and each could stand on its own. But together their brilliance is multiplied. Based on the flowers, I'd say the tree is a quince. The photos trees and pots shown here all belong to Michiko Koide.

Contrast in trees and pots, but both very sweet. I'm guessing that the tree on the right is a Cryptomeria (Japanese cedar). The Shimpaku is too easy
