Creeping juniper, in training since 1969

We visited the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum at the National Arboretum, reputed to hold one of the finest collections of miniature masterpieces in North America, with bonsai originating from Japan and penjing from China.

This will be the last photo in this gallery. Thanks so much for all the kind comments and votes! I still don’t know much about the technicalities of bonsai, but I surely loved seeing all these miniature masterpieces.
