Hi Attila , the general gist of what you suggest sounds very reasonable. I too have viewed exhibitions and wondered (or guessed) at the species. I am sure a little information sheet with each tree would go a long way towards increasing interest. I am not so sure however that '
this information would deeply increase our respect and appreciation of the tree, thus greatly enhancing our pleasure of looking at the tree', at least with the general public. You and I perhaps yes, and other bonsaiists too, but the general public being "ignorant"
, they might not be able to connect in the same way. Not meaning to disparage the general public of course, its just that bonsai enthusiasts obviously have a little more knowledge from which to extrapolate.
Hi Andy, perhaps a 2 or 3 point display would need to come into the equation a bit further on down the line. It would obviously be of
some benefit to the public to see a 3 point display, but again, for the same reasons outline above to Attila I would imagine some members of the public might not have the background knowledge to interpret such displays (or am I too hard on the public?).
Regards,
