Thank you thank you for wonderful and detailed photos and labels. Wow, massive is the word for those maples of Bill Valavanis, bet they are even more weighty in person.
I love a good many of the pot pairings of the trees you posted, and everything is so clean and crisp. Looks like a great show. Even the vendor area looks tempting!

Thanks for taking the time to post! Beautiful trees! It looks like a great mix of Japanese trees and Yamadori too.

Brian, thank-you for the time and effort to share with those unfortunates, who were unable to see it for themselves. Appreciated.

Bill, and thank you Sir, especially for taking photos of the entire display besides just the trees.
As a student of display how I appreciate being able to see scrolls, companion plants, to get the sense the artist had in it's creation.

Thanks for posting. That RMJ cascade in the large pot is awesome. Love Bill's maple too.

Very nice photos of a wide range of material. Thanks for taking the time to post these!

For some reason I'm really drawn to that tall, skinny, leaning maple in post 9. Very elegant.
