Flora Show Bonsai















Another wonderful exhibit at the Royal Floa show was the Bonsai. They were all outside and in a lovely garden setting and all the plants were up on pedestals in their lovely pots, most of which were concrete.Unfortunately the brochures for the exhibit had run out so although they were numbered we had no information about the age or type of plants. Most of them must have been old though because the trunks of many of them were large. There were also quite a number of them whose roots were trained around stones. They were also the largest Bonsai trees I had ever seen and amongst the most beautiful. I couldn't help but think of my friend Ron who has been playing with Bonsai for years and every summer they go outside onto his deck and into his garden.
