Free admission. the Atlanta Bonsai club/ society should take note. Last event they held was at the Botanical garden with something like $50 admission. Ill just watch my own pathetic sticks for that price
I will be displaying and staying to chat if anyone is checking out the show in July.

Our local club shows in NJ are all free to my knowledge, and our multi-state show (MABS) is $20 for admission.

There was some amazing quality at our clubs show today! In fact, a few of the entries are on their way to Rochester in a few more months. Thank you so much to Bob for putting this show together, and giving hundreds of people the opportunity to see world class bonsai!!! Congratulations to all of the winners!

That maple is hot hot stuff. For your display, do you think it would be good with the tree on the right and the accent on the left? Tree is certainly leaning to the left but can't figure out from the picture if the top branching counteracts that.

Good question!

The trunk is moving to the left, but the apex and main branch are moving to the right. Over time I am going to push the asymmetry more to the right and eliminate the bottom left branch.

I also took home this imported shohin kokuko-no-tsuki azalea from Kifu Bonsai. Can't wait for the red flowers next year!
