The European Bonsai-San show Saulieu was on the 18th and 19th October 2014 and with thanks to Nicolas Baleux for the photos from the show here are some of the amazing bonsai trees that were on display.
The Heathrow Bonsai Show was a great success, and some of the broadleaved bonsai trees on display were shown to their full advantage with the onset of autumn colour and even those that had yet to turn were still impressive as shown from the sample of broadleaved bonsai trees on display below. The range of styles was excellent with groups, cascades, semi cascades, formal and informal uprights to name a few styles.
Even though it is still autumn, some of the bonsai trees on display at Heathrow Bonsai Show were already in their winter image which allows you to see the full tracery and structure of the trees. The next show where you will also get this opportunity will be at the Swindon Winter Image Show in 2015 on Sunday 22nd of February so come along if you missed out at this show.
There were some stunning Shohin displays and individual shohin on display at Heathrow Bonsai Show and some of the tree/ pot combinations were superb. Here is a selection of some of the Shohin bonsai trees that were on show.
What an amazing collection of conifers on display at the Heathrow Bonsai Show, it was hard to select a favourite but some did stand out like the Japanese Black Pine from Sutton Bonsai Society to name but one. The range of styles of the Junipers was inspiring, as well as the Yew trees and some of the carving work was excellent. Here are some of the conifers that were on display.
Even though there were only a few Mame on display and given their small size, they stood out and made an impression particularly the mame display itself on the Eastbourne and Wealdon Bonsai Club display. Here are a few images of the Mame bonsai that were on display.
Held on June 14th 2015 in ‘Support of Cancer Research’ this event will be free admission including a number of traders. Steve Tolley has generously agreed to conduct an informal demo and Tony Tickle has been persuaded to donate his magnificent Yew bonsai for an auction. There will also be a tombola draw with loads of prizes, it is hoped that those who attend and are sympathetic to the charity will dig deep and donate to this worthy cause at this unique event.
In addition to some fabulous bonsai trees on display at Heathrow Bonsai Show, there were some wonderful accent plants and here are just a few that stood out…
Autumn colour at it’s best all in one room at the Heathrow Bonsai Show this weekend just gone and the wonderful array of colours from mainly the broadleaved trees on display was fabulous and here is a select of some of the gorgeous colours that were on show.
