Bonsai Show
This morning I spent the day with my dad. We went to a 9am Yoga class and then went to a Bonsai show.
We both love checking out bonsai shows every now and then. It is an amazing art to see.
The Bonsai is an old Japanese tradition of planting trees in small pots. These trees are trimmed back and over time have the appearance of full grown tree in a miniature size.
At the Bonsai show there were many different variations of trees. Oaks, Maples, Junipers, fruit trees, flowering trees.
If was fun to see the different sizes. Ranging from smallest would fitting in the palm of your hand to others that would have to be carried by a few people.
They had trees for sale.
My favorite were the trees with fruit on them. This Persimmon tree held cute little fruit on it.
A demonstration showed how the trees get trimmed and formed.
This Maple tree was amazing. It was showing its fall colors.
I hope you enjoyed some of my favorite trees from the Bonsai show.
I would like to have my own still Bonsai someday. I think I would want a Maple or one with fruit.
Have you ever been to a Bonsia show?
Ever owned a Bonsai tree? If so, what kind?
