Ok....being new to the game...

Why does an exhibitor put a little plant of some description next to the tree that they are showing?
How can you ever succeed if you are afraid to fail?

Bebbas, Those are 'accent plants' The idea is to enhance the overall picture by using a colour, shape or species that compliments the bonsai.
In Japanese formal display they often use 3 elements in the display - bonsai, scroll and accent plant/rock where all 3 are aimed at telling more of a story - location, time of year, weather conditions, etc.

I also thought that the circular display of mini trees was quite special. Some of them over 30 years old I believe.
Congratulations to the owner (who is an Ausbonsai "LURKER")

No. 6 pine was very graceful, and the jack pine made having the trunk completely on one side of the tree seem perfectly natural - beautifully styled.

Thanks for posting.
