The pictures in this thread are from the Golden State Bonsai Federation, Collection South, which is in the Huntington Gardens, San Marino, in Southern California. In both the Collection South and the Collection North,which is located in Lake Merritt Park, Oakland, California, none of the trees are marked with the owners names. (Most trees have been donated to the Collections and are owned by the GSBF). Even at our Bonsai Shows, in California, we do not name the owners of the trees. It is both a tradition and a security issue.
Don't feel badly about not having the owners names of the trees.
We're happy that you visited this garden, and if you are ever near Oakland, come look at the Collection-north. Its presentation is quite different from that of the South, and both collections, however different, are outstanding.
