poster lifted from fmg website
As I promised, here are the pics from the bonsai show. All of them were taken by me, except for the last few, which were taken by “Anonymous,” aka my Daughter In-Law’s Father. He’s an excellent photographer, and the pics are used with his permission. I’ll have them as a separate slideshow at the end.

Amazing show, Lisa. Did not expect to see 50 and 75 year old trees…wow. These really are works of art and love combined. I liked the one shot of the “miniature” world…those “landscapes” under the trees are prime real estate for some cute creatures to inhabit.😊

Bruce they had trees over 100 years there! Yes, they are living works of art. I admire anyone who has the patience (and longevity) for it! Of the trees for sale, they had one for $11,000!

I wish there were a shorter word for daughter in law’s father, but I haven’t come up with it. I became interested in bonsai in my 20s but was discouraged by the idea that they took so long. 50 years later, duh.

In business code, he would be DILFA. I bought a tiny “pre-made” one for a few dollars at the department store, and it lived for years, but this takes things to a whole new level. These trees came in for the exhibit and to sell, but the gardens has a whole collection that they put out in nice weather.
