It was great to see the wonderful trees and people today. The combination of horticulture and art that keeps me intrigued with bonsai was on full display. Congrats to the winners!

I could only attend the last couple of hours on Sunday so I tried to take extra photos.

I hate I couldn’t make it, it figures I would get sick this of all weekends. Looks like I missed a great show and some great wares. Thank you for the photos and picking up my buttons.

Who’s American Hornbeam is that ?
 
I had so much going on I forgot it was this weekend, I hate I missed it. I will be prepared next year, I’m going to have to start saving money now. The hornbeam @Shogun610, I think is Gary Clark’s in waldo street pot. I could be wrong but he is on instagram and he is the hornbeam king. He has so many of them, I think he took some to sell also.

Would of been cool to meet you! You’re so close to show that is a bummer.
 
Man so many awesome trees and displays I really wish I could of made it. I probably would of been overwhelmed with all the beauty and skill on display. Maybe next year I'll make it!
