We recently saw a bonsai exhibit by the Boise Bonsai Society. It was part of a Koi and Goldfish Show by the Idaho Water Garden & Koi Society.
Amazing root forms!
Grapevine bonsai
If a tree falls off my Bonsai bench, and I'm not home to hear it, does it make a sound?

These are so fun. You have a lot going on up there these days.
Teeny tiny Boise in pots. Those are lovely, Ms.M. I like the humour your local bonsai gardeners put into their displays (over here, they're just as po-faced as the Japanese).
The quote is priceless.
We enjoyed seeing the show, Margaret. Boise has some fun events, especially during the fall.
Yes, Dive, a tiny bit of Boise in those pots. They seemed to be a good group, not too stressed. Eventually I'll post a few photos of a bonsai demo they were doing during the show. I just had to post that quote - it was perfect for this post.
I'm all about the grapes. And the cork.
The grapes with the cork were fun -- I wonder if they'd make good wine?
I hope they can find some miniature oak casks after they've pressed the grapes with their thumbs in an egg cup. Perhaps they are bonsai-ing some oak trees in readiness.
Hahaha, Shell! Perhaps the fairies (in the first photo) are going to open a bonsai wine shop in that little house; they'll feature little bottles of wine served in tiny crystal wine glasses.
