California juniper, in training since 1982

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.

Again, I’ll have to catch up with comments a bit later as I’m just too busy at work right now!

If I was in training since 1982, I might be wizened like this but not half as attractive! What a wonderful composition someone has created.

Beautiful, it's almost a piece of art at least a combination of nature and artwork. V
