I am going to assume that my comments are going to be self-centered as an American, but I thought that some of the best bonsai are coming out of the U.S. Not in the sense of Bonsai that have been around for ever, but in regards to what you pointed out above. I was quite suprised to hear that we have alot to learn from our brothers and sisters overseas in regards to Bonsai.

I think that it goes both ways....
