Meet Dr. Seuss. That’s what I named this little boxwood.

I had the pleasure of spending most of the day at the U. S. National Arboretum and Bonsai and Penjing Museum. The task at hand was setting up for (helping vendors set up for) this weekend’s Potomac Bonsai Festival. Lucky for me, there wasn’t a lot of work every moment of the day.
During one of those quiet times, I had the pleasure of helping my friend LeAnn prep a couple of trees for the PBA member show. The odiferous task was applying Lime Sulfur to the deadwood on those trees. Some complain about the smell, but I rather enjoy the task. It’s pretty much painting a tree. What could be wrong with that?! Besides, I got to do the work here…
…among the plants and trees “behind the scenes” of the bonsai museum.
Of course I also found some moments to enjoy the collection.
All and all, a beautiful day. I look forward to more days like it this weekend. Come on out, see the trees, and check out the vendors. For more information, go to the PotomacBonsai website.

Mark down the Northern Virginia Bonsai Society 2018 Spring Show as a success. There were beautiful trees on public display, and many folks came to visit and learn more which gave us a wonderful opportunity to share our passion. NVBS even got a couple of new members as a result!
Our photographer in residence, David Lieu, who also happens to be our Vice President for Membership, brought along his camera and took the amazing pictures included in the video below. All credit to you, David! Thanks for letting me share this.

It’s been a bonsai-filled day at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens inVienna, Virginia. This is the final day of the Northern Virginia Bonsai Society Fall show.
The Potomac Bonsai Association fall auction took place in the pavilion on the Meadowlark grounds.
And there were many visitors to the exhibition throughout the afternoon.
All-in-all, a pretty great day! Many thanks to all of the folks who pitched in to help, and a special thank-you to Gary Reese, Leann Duling and other PBA members who organized the auction, and to Steve Miller for serving as our auctioneer. I look forward a continued partnership and future events at Meadowlark.
