BSA 6th Annual Exhibit

As I sit here waiting for my trees to waken up in the Spring I can’t help but look forward to the forth coming British Shohin Association Exhibition. I plan to make the trip over to this in March and maybe even get a tree exhibited.

I have made many new friends through this blog and this will be an opportunity for me to actually meet a few face to face. To get in the mood I’m going to share a few photos from past Exhibitions.

This is a short View clip of the show display area.

Taikan-ten 2011 Photos

I trawl the net everyday looking for decent bonsai related stuff. Facebook, websites, blogs, forums, etc. all get a look. When I find something of interest to me, I like to share a link to it here.

This is link to Peter Tea’s blog where he has posted some very nice, and rare, shots from Taikan Ten 2011. Photography is limited at the show and most of the photos here show trees in various areas while the staging and judging is taking place. I actually find this very interesting in itself. We never get to see how they judge these shows.

Just click on Peter’s photo below to view his blog post.

EBA 2011

I have been wading through the internet trying to find the best and most complete set of photographs from the EBA 2011 Exhibition in Germany. After finding bits here and bits there, I should have known that Water Pall would have a fully comprehensive set of Photographs. To see all the trees, all the demos, even the trade stands, click on the image below.

I was told by Peter Warren to look out for a Potentilla in the exhibition.  When I saw the cascade one I fell in love. Then, on seeing Walters Photos I saw the other one and was blown away!! A really nice cascade Juniper in there too.
