Special Sale Evening - the late Hong Lin's collection
Hi everyone
Late last year the Melbourne bonsai community lost a brilliant Bonsai and Penjing artist in Mr Lin Hong. Grant mention in a previous thread about this "little Marvel" viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9376
At Bonsai Northwest's February 6th meeting night, Judy, Mr Hong's daughter, will be bringing along a substantial number of her late father's trees for sale. This is truly a wonderful opportunity to pick up one or more of this wonderful artists trees. His trees always amaze every visitor and this will be one of the last opportunities to purchase one of his trees. Bring along your cash (cash only sale) and you won't be disappointed.
Location: The Clifton Park Bowling Club, Batman Street, Essendon Melbourne, Melways Map 28-B4
Time: meeting starts at 8pm but be early not to miss out.
Cash only please.
Thanks
David

Re: Special Sale Evening - the late Hong Lin's collection
Hopefully his memory can be kept alive through the nurturing of his trees by others. Does all the money raised go back to his family?
Are any of Hong Lin's collection destined for display at the NBPCA?
Cheers, Ryan

Hi Ryan,
The family intend to keep some of his display trees in the hope of continuing to display these trees at exhibitions or even in the National Collection. His daughter and widow will be on hand at the club meeting night and will be selling the trees.

Having had the pleasure of owning and working on a few of Hong's creations, it was clear that he was a very talented man who will be sadly missed. Our sincere sympathies to his family for their loss.

Re: Special Sale Evening - the late Hong Lin's collection
Is there a way that the collection can be photographed as a whole, before it is dispersed?
It concerns me that we do not honour our best growers by recording their work.
The trees that made it to the NBPCA, and the few I've seen in photographs were exceptional.

Hi all,
Be assured we are working quietly and carefully behind the scene to be able to display some of the trees of Hong Lin at the NBPCA into the future.
