Large and medium-sized bonsai at Bay Island Bonsai’s 18th exhibit

February 3, 2017 by Jonas Dupuich

I had a great time at this year’s Bay Island Bonsai exhibit. It was fun to catch up with friends and visitors from Northern California, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Oregon, Minnesota, Connecticut and Rhode Island – and I’m likely missing a few places.

The exhibit featured a good mix of varieties, but was particularly strong on conifers this year. Here are some of the larger ones on display.

Mas Nakajima exhibited two works featuring large suiseki. They were among my favorites of the many displays he’s shared with BIB over the years.
