The eclipse scroll with the Chinese Quince really caught my attention. It’s spectacular!
Amin Younes says
that beech is unreal. maybe what mine will look like in three to four thousand years.
John Miller says
What is the size of the Jasmine? Is it one of the Trachelospermum species? From the coverage in BCI and other mags the World Bonsai Convention must have been one of the best and most interesting ones in recent years.
Jonas Dupuich says
Good question – not sure I have the details for the jasmine. It looks like a star jasmine, trachelospermum sp., and I don’t remember it being too tall, possibly in the medium sized range.
