Back from the Bonsai-a-thon and very very sad.
The auction trees went for very little money. They should have been MUCH more. And I didn't have the funds to buy any of them. There was a terrific Acer P. with about a 2" trunk, beautifully shaped, REALLY nice. $65.00. Whine whine wimper whine. And the pyracantha that Kathy Benson brought and wired went for about $300 or so ... whine wimper wimper whine. Fabulous tree. A big old pine went for the most...high 300's I think. Should have been a lot more.
Well, done is done.
I'll post pictures tomorrow of the workshops and the exhibit trees. And especially the Japanese garden. It was Girls Day so there were dolls and flowers in the Japanese house.
