Bonsai centrum
At the Lodder Bonsai Open Weekend there were many traders and one of the very popular ones was Bonsai Centrum for their brightly coloured and uniquely designed accent pots that were selling like hot cakes.

Daibokai
This was the first time I had come across Daibokai who are a family run business from Germany. They were one of the many traders who attended the open weekend at Lodder Bonsai bv in the Netherlands and some of their scrolls were inspired as well as fun too and the art work was excellent.
Traders at Lodder Bonsai Open Weekend
The Lodder Bonsai Open Weekend was fantastic with a packed program for 2015 including a Bonsai exhibition provided by Shoryukai.
Broadleaves @ Shohin UK II Exhibition
The range of broadleaved trees at the Shohin UK II Exhibition 2015 was broad and diverse and the quality of the trees was excellent. Species ranging from Potentilla, through to Berbers, Gardenia, Zelkova, Chinese Elm, Privet and Quince to name a few.
Evergreens @ Shohin UK II Exhibition

Shohin UK II Exhibition 2015
The Shohin UK II Exhibition did not dissappoint, it was great to see so many wonderful Shohin, Chuhin and a few Mame on display and there were also some beautiful stands, particularly the root stands as well as some brightly coloured and ornate pots too.
