The Atlanta Bonsai Society put on its spring show the weekend of March 16-17 at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It was a great weekend, and I was really proud of my entries this time!
I had three displays in the show this year:
- Common boxwood
- 3-point shohin display - Japanese larch, satsuki azalea, and mountain stone
- Suiseki inspired by Japan's "married stones" (Meoto Iwa)
