The Redwood Empire Bonsai Society held their 27th annual show this past weekend in Santa Rosa, California. As always, the large show drew large crowds. Kathy Shaner’s demonstrations highlighted each day’s events, and the club’s large vendor area kept visitors engaged.
A number of new trees made it into the exhibit this year, and particular attention was paid to the display of accent plants – more on that in an upcoming post.
Here is a sampling of the trees that were on display.

It gets better every year. My old alma mater. I was in it from the beginning and I miss the enthusiasm that isn’t here on this rock in the middle of the pacific.
