Perhaps that is just as well, but I think the majority of people doing bonsai would like it to become more widely popular.


Now this from Fred has made me wonder. The forum has been known in the past to shy away from threads on artistry in bonsai, competition in bonsai, showing bonsai in a venue, showing bonsai here, etc, etc.

What would make you think people would want bonsai to become more popular? Seems to me that most people are happy just doing it in their backyard with little regard to what is going on professionaly, or with shows or workshops.

What would bonsai becoming more popular accomplish? Bring down the cost? Make the mallsai market more profitable? Help define it as an art, thereby making it more accessable to Corp. execs?

Just wondering, Bonsai-al
