Chicago Botanic Garden Bonsai Collection

[Ross]

I just got back from Chicago, and I had the opportunity to see the bonsai collection at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I took pictures of every tree on display so I could post them here for you guys and gals. I didn't edit any of these so none are cropped or rotated like I would prefer, but you get the idea. Overall I was very impressed, and the rest of the gardens there are also very nice, and it was larger than I expected.

Here's the last couple bonsai pics, and a nice old Chinese pot (1115-1234) I saw at the Art Institute of Chicago.

You're welcome Barry. The Japanese garden was also very nice and I'll try and add more pics from there later when I have more time.

Hey Ross, thanks for the post. I feel a little nostalgia creeping in Did you happen to get any shots of the show this weekend?

Hey Wood, I missed the show by a day. I was in Chicago all week doing the tourist thing but flew out on Friday. Here are a few pictures of the Japanese garden though.
