This is a wonderful example of a flowering apricot bonsai. In twin trunk style, the two trunks harmonize well together, they are of different sizes to keep interest, they are either seperate trunks or split very low at the soil surface, they have good taper and movement with exquisite, old bark - the real value of this type of bonsai. The contrast between the aged bark and deadwood of the trunk (old age) and the fresh new flowers of the season (youth) are the essence of the beauty of the flowering apricot. The branches are delicate, and styled in the deciduous tree style (more undulating, more delicate, reaching upward). The pot is a good choice, the color contrasts the color of the flower well.
