This past weekend, March 13-15, 2015, the Dallas Bonsai Society finally had another annual show. I say finally because it’s been two years since the last one. Which makes it the first bonsai show I’ve ever attended. The Dallas club used to have the annual show at the local botanical gardens here in Dallas, but the arboretum consistently canceled on us last minute, usually because they had booked a wedding on the same weekend as the bonsai show. Which is just rude.

The plant nursery where The Dallas Society has it’s meetings, just built some very nice art gallery like rooms, and they offered the club one of those rooms for the weekend.

I volunteered to watch the trees on Saturday, and while there I took some pictures. I hope you enjoy them, the lighting was not the best…

Rather than scrolling through this page you can click one image, use the left and right arrows, and just browse the trees that way.

I welcome any sort of critique of any of the trees, after all they aren’t mine, and as I told a member of the public “Bonsai artists have no feelings.” When I said that she got a very stern look on her face, slid uncomfortably close to me, and informed me that “I’ve found that all living creatures have feelings.” To which I nodded politely, out of fear of where this conversation might go…

I am curious about what others think, just for my own education so please let me know.

See you on the flip side.
