Imperial Masterpiece
20 years ago or so, Peter Adams and Dan Robinson had a collaboration of sorts. When Dan was building Elandan Gardens, Peter was the nurseryman and sold some things in the shop. He died about this time of year in 2013. A true artist - I think I have every book he wrote in my collection. His drawings were inspirational - I used to love his article in Bonsai Focus. Hard to believe he's been gone three years now.
Anyway, I visited Dan many times around back in the early 90's. On one of my trips there I bought a couple of ficus trees from Peter (that's right - Dan sold ficus trees at Elandan Gardens). They weren't trees special to Peter or anything, just some ficus trees he sold in the shop. But they've been kicking around my benches for some time now and I thought, by way of celebrating Peter Adams, I'd post some work I did on one of them.
