A few photos from the 2014 Nashville Regional Bonsai Expo held today, July 12 and tomorrow July 13, 2014 at the Cheekwood Botanic Gardens in Nashville, TN. Great trees, a wide selection of vendors with trees and containers, dynamic demos and workshops and last but not least warm southern hospitality.
Join us tomorrow to see some beautiful bonsai!
This gallery contains 13 photos.

Here are a few Kusamono and Hostas today
It’s that time of year when I get a few extra trees in my garden! I’m looking after 3 collections at the minute while friends are on holiday. It adds to the watering time but I must admit that I like looking at something different for a while too. Main problem is space but as long as the hose reaches, Ill cope 🙂
Here are some that arrived this week.
I’ll take a few photos when I get a chance, some haven’t been seen before and are rather interesting 😉
These ones below belong to Ben, and we had the chance to photograph them already.
Berberis
Boston Ivy
Sumo Cotoneaster
And a very tasty Dissectum Japanese Maple with some beautiful leaf colour this year.
More to follow when I manage to get the camera out again.

In September and October 2012, I was given the opportunity to participate in 2 weekend wiring workshops conducted by UK bonsai professional and Noelander’s Trophy winner Steve Tolley, so I took this tree along.
Steve felt that the large lower right branch was a feature better suited to a tree with a broader trunk base than mine had and recommended it’s removal. I agreed to this, so that branch was removed. The next picture shows Steve carrying out the final placement of the branches on the final afternoon…

More shohin bonsai from Nekotoban’s blog showing exhibits from Kyusyu Miyabi-ten 2013. There’s far more detail re pots and tree species on her blog HERE.
Did a little work on this wee one a few days back. Smaller pot required at some point.
Any idea who made this pot?
For all you Shohin folk, check these out 🙂
If you want to know more info on species and pot makers then pop over to Nekotoban’s Bonsai Days Blog where she has lots more info listed for each photo. After seeing how popular her exhibition posts were last year, she has taken the time to note more information about each display. There should more exhibition posts to follow.
