There will be four vendors:
Bonsai Learning Center, Cristhian Mora/ForestW (pots), Frank M., and myself.

Ill be vending young and somewhat refined JBP and Junipers, Azalea, Japanese Maples, Trident Maples, Hornbeams, a couple of Hollies, accents and miscellaneous material, and stone slabs. Come say hello.
 
Well, it’s almost here, the truck is loaded with equipment and plants and I’ll be on the road as soon as rush hour winds down. Tomorrow is setup day so I’ll be there all day shooting photos of the trees. I have been told to expect 38-40 as well as the companion plant and viewing stone displays. I expect to be back Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon so say hello, just look for Larry, I think I’m the only one in the club. Also for those who got the word too late pencil it in for next June about this time, it should be even bigger and better.
 
Thanks for posting that photo Stuart. I’ve been working on that tree now since October 2018 when I found it at Bruce Appledoorn’s nursery in Bostic NC. It has been a pleasant journey for me and I hope the tree. As for the show, we’ll be there again all day today until 5PM so you still have time to get a look at some great bonsai. Also the lobby of the Baker Center is filled with trees, pots, and some bonsai supplies for sale by a select group of vendors who won’t want to take a lot of that stuff home with them so look for deals today—ask for the show specials!
 
I had a nice time, but forgot to vote. And I spent way too much money. Met a couple of nice vendors as well. Still wish I would have picked up that JRP I liked.
