Bonsai

My final photo from our trip to Canberra is this collage of bonsai trees at the National Arboretum.

It was a very impressive exhibition.

I haven't got green fingers and I could probably manage to kill off plastic flowers and plants.

Nice collection and collage we tried to grow a bonsai tree a few years back it didn't go well..

[leggzy]

Beautiful collection & nice collage. I must add the National Arboretum to my list of things to do in Canberra :) thanks for sharing.

[Valerie Chesney]

[Lynda McG]

Nice collage - I'm like you Babs, can kill a houseplant by looking at it!!

[Loopy-Lou]

Gorgeous bonsai love them. My neighbor bought one a few years ago but I managed to kill it off 😒

[Paul]

Every time I see these trees I think of Mr Miyagi from karate kid 😊 A beautiful collection of images 😊

[Wylie]

I recognise these, its a great collection isn't it!

[Sue]

Oh love bonsai, but definitely not into doing it myself. Great collage Babs.

[Ethel]

Ha,ha, Babs. Brown thumbs. One of my children called herself that, then realised one day that plants need water. All the more time for photography, and you have flying colours where that is concerned.

[Gosia]

So beautiful.

[sally agnew]

Bonsai fascinates me. A lovely collection of specimens :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ha ha ! Babs --no green fingers perhaps but an excellent trigger finger when photography is concerned This is a beautifully presented collection of little Bonsai trees in this collage . FAB AND A FAV

[Chris K]

lovely collection. I love Bonsai but I would never have the patience to tend to its needs.

[Helen Sanderson]

I have a couple of friends who volunteer at that national bonsai collection...the collection is very impressive. great collage Babs.

[Jane Morley]

Beautiful collection. My Dad liked Bosai . He had one or two and used to say his ambition was to own one that was 100 years old...that he'd grown from a pip!

[Lou Ann]

The amazing thing about Bonsai is how old they are. The ones in your collage must be really old. They are lovely!

[gloria jones]

Great collage of shots with neat shapes

[Nova]

beautiful collection of shots Babs. I put my green thumb away for the winter. ;)

[8yearson]

Lovely collage, Fav

[Casablanca]

Any plant unlucky enough to end up in my house is on death row! Garden, yes. Plants in the house? Can't do it! Love these bonsai, all so intricate and petite.

[carol white]

A lovely collage. My neighbour has a dedicated corner of his garden, devoted to his bonsai collection

[Ann Williams]

A lovely collection in this collage Babs. So much patience and skill involved with bonsai. My plant skills are similar to @casablanca!

[Sue Cooper]

What a wonderful collection of these amazing little trees. They're beautiful.

[Hazel]

Beautiful shapes and greenery good in a collage.

[Peter]

Gorgeous collage each image beautifully captured Babs, Just like you I'm not at all green fingered, I can only work in our garden under very close and strict supervision, lol:)

[Pyrrhula]

Great collage of those beautiful bonsais.

[Islandgirl]

What a lovely display of bonsais!

[Taffy]

Fantastic collage! Reminds me of the Chicago Botanic Garden courtyard display.

[Marnie]

Love this collage, bonsai is always great to see. I managed to kill our only attempt fairly smartly.

[Danette Thompson]

They are beautiful.

[Babs]

@rjb71 You are braver than I am. I am sure they would have died if I tried it.

[Babs]

@leggzy It is worth a visit.

[Babs]

@julzmaioro That one was my favourite too Julia.

[Babs]

@lyndamcg @bizziebeeme @ethelperry @beryl @casablanca @flowerfairyann @golftragic Thanks. I don't have any houseplants now. Friends have stopped buying them for me because they don't last long. Now that David is out of action for the next few weeks I guess I will be in charge of the garden too. Uh Oh! I suspect that I will be closely supervised.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Ha ha. Now that David has injured his hip. I will be in charge of the garden for the next few weeks too. Under strict supervision of course.

[Babs]

@pusspup Yes it is a very impressive collection.

[Stephanie]

Aren't they beautiful! Interesting how they are all different. Quite a few years back bonsai was all the rage for Christmas gifts here... I got one but it didn't live long.

[Babs]

@stephanies Ha ha, someone else who kills off plants.

[Marnie]

@onewing Oh dear, hope it rains for your sake.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Amazing little trees! They really do look exactly like their larger counter-parts.

[Kathy A]

I really like bonsais, Ive had there and killed them all! My favourite is the one top right.

[Babs]

@kjarn ha ha, sounds like you went to the same gardening school as I did.

[Dianne]

Gorgeous images of such sweet wee trees.
