Taguchi Bonsai 2011 Spring Show Vancouver

This past weekend, on 4-5 June, the Taguchi Bonsai Club of Vancouver presented its 2011 spring show at Vandusen Botanical Gardens - Vancouver.

The bonsai were displayed at their best: trimmed, pruned, with brushed soil,  moss and accent plants around, including flowering geraniums and pelargoniums ... really polished ;-)

The pictures explain better than me...

Members of the Taguchi Bonsai Club were on hand to answer questions, showing off their work.

See by yourself  the bonsai which attended this show:




Mame bonsai:

Flowering bonsai in bloom like: Satsuki Azaleeas, Korean Lilac, Wisteria, Fuchsia and Cotoneaster.

or an interesting Cascade Bonsai,  the branches falling down from the top of its own trunk:



Other bonsai were a real example about successful air-layering techniques on Ginkgo tree, the Ginkgo Biloba  bonsai  from the left being air-layered few years ago from the top of the right-one:

A very nice Japanese Larch Forest:

Believe me... wordless is better, so enjoy by yourself the bonsai in their glory at the Floral Hall of Vandusen Garden, Vancouver, presented at the 2011 spring bonsai show:
