Aristocrats' Easter Parade - Decked Out In Their Finest Spring Clothes

[grouper52]

Thought I'd have some photographic fun with a couple dozen of my better trees, as they show off their new spring beauty. Neither the photos nor the trees are really at their most refined - just quickly cleaned-up, quickly shot, processed and posted. Enjoy. (Shameless plug - they're all for sale if someone wanted to make me an offer I can't refuse - especially for local pick-up. )

First: Sir Threadbranch False Cypress, III

First time creating a thread with photos on the new site - please bear with me.

Looks like - on the last post - Mr. & Mrs. Shimpaku are attached, as well as pretty Ms. Bowwood, and the dapper M. Hemlock. On this post I'll add Lady Katsura, the Mame brothers and the dodd ering old Al Fir.

Uh, still don't have the hang of it . . . .anyway: From Austria, Barron Pine, followed by his friend from Europe, the roguish Count Hornbeam, and the Scottish noble, Duke of Pine.

Visiting from Asia, Larch-san, followed by Comrade Elm, and Lady Shishigashiri.

Next we have Mr. Seiju, III, Mr. Cliff Ponderosa, and his good friend R. M. Juniper.

And bringing up the rear of the parade, we have the two Shore-pine Brothers from Canada, and the rather dodgy (and not very attractive) Mr. J.B. Pine.

I hope you've enjoyed this Easter Parade of notable bonsai dignitaries.

Nice to see some old friends and some new guests of theirs making an appearance here. Good to see them in spring mode, thanks for posting them G.

Nice, all. But my fav is still that threadbranch false cypress. Love that one.
