I just saw a link to above - very impressive show

and the winners are

Outstanding! Mark and Rita Cooper's Shohin are just amazing.

It floors me when this show is poo-pooed. The people (mainly from across the Pacific) that go on about how Noelanders is somehow less than a wonderful exhibition of bonsai art, because it is full of imported trees of Japanese origin, fail to appreciate the talent it takes to maintain and improve trees of that level.

Thank-you for the links Marlene.

Cheers,
Mojo

WOW

From Mr Palls blog:

Larch



Bends the rules ever so slightly as a formal upright, but I just love the tree.

is it possible to see photo list of the winner from every year of the competition---see if there is a trend to the winning style or plant type

I love the Yellow pots

Some beautiful trees on show there.
I would love to go and see it in real life someday

Ken

unfortunately there are some examples here that fail to accomplish the left branch, right branch, back branch rule, along with the trunk width vs height rule...
