Bonsai auction tomorrow at BIB’s 15th annual exhibit

Bay Island Bonsai’s annual exhibit features a plant sale and vendors including Deer Meadow Bonsai and Deadwood Bonsai. Plus, on the first day of the exhibit, there’s a live auction (preview at noon, auction at 1:00pm). The auctions can be a lot of fun – I recommend taking a peek if you’re at the show. Here’s a small sample of the trees in this year’s auction.

I think a number of the pots would have worked well – I was very close to selecting #4 – and were it a better fit, I might have gone with something like # 10. More to look forward to in the future!

For those in the area, I look forward to seeing you at the exhibit this weekend. For out-of-towners – plenty of photos are on the way. And for everyone – thank you for reading! Bonsai Tonight recently passed its 5 year anniversary – an impossible feat without your support. Thanks and see you soon!
