Autumn bonsai exhibition at Ryugasaki city

I went to autumn bonsai exhibition at Ryugasaki city.
 

I think Ryugasaki bonsai group is the best one in Ibaraki prefecture. I enjoy their exhibition every time.
  

In this exhibition, there are so many "yose-ue(several or many trees of one species)" style.
 

Yose ue has so many flowers.
 

As I have only tree bonsai, I enjoyed seeing flowers. 

 So pretty.
  

I want to have one on my desk of my office.
 

After I bought a pancake lens and a PL filter, it's so fun to take photos.
 

 Hey, I really want to get it. Gentian.


I like this shape and color so much.


Moss ball is good for this flower.
 

Actually, I prefer to traditional bonsai like this.
   

Look at this great branches.  

How old is it? Fantastic!
 

This Jin and Shari also were great.
 

I cannot imagine how it was made.


I'm looking forward to the next exhibition.

Juhu-kai Bonsai Exhibition and Ibaraki Botanical Garden

I visited to Ibaraki Botanical Garden to see Bonsai Exhibition by Juhu-kai.

Bonsai exhibit was held in the exhibit room.
 

I like this angle.
 

Juniper that has jin (deadwood branches) and shari (trunk deadwood) . 

It's more difficult to grow moss than I imagined.
 

Ishizuke style(growing-in-a-rock) pine tree. It's not thick trunk but a rock!
 

Fukinagashi(windswept) style.
  

In the garden, roses are their peek.

There are so many blooming paeoniae radixes, too. 
I couldn't find its name but seems orchid species.
 

On my way home, I went in a hot spring "Hororu no yu". There is a dam behind the building.

Tsukuba Spring Bonsai Exibit

Spring is the season of bonsai exibit.

Different from Tsuchiura bonsai exibit, there are big bonsai in this exibit. It's amazing that such a big tree can grow up on small land.


Maple tree.
 

It looks a great tree when looking from underneath.


"The bonsai", pine tree.
 

Chokkan(upright) elm.
 

Moss covers soil. It's really difficult to grow moss beautifully....

Bosai exhibit in Tsuchiura city

I visited to the 52nd Tsuchiura Shohin-bonsai and alpine plants exhibit in Tsuchiura city, Ibaraki prefecture.


I want to use such a beautiful display shelf for my bonsai someday.


The most popular bonsai is pine tree.


White sandalwood.


I focused on maple bonsai because I've just got it in my house.


Zoom!


I love such a miniature set.


Flog figurine adds a nice taste to the bonsai.
