By the time this is published I will be on a plane headed to California. It's time once again for another of Boon's Bonsai Intensive sessions. Winter is usually a time for repotting in Alameda. For Winter III the focus is on show preparation, for the Bay Island Bonsai Annual Exhibit. This includes repotting into show pots, finish wiring, arranging branches, and general clean and care. This year's show is extra special, as it's the 10th anniversary show.
For more information about the show, check out the Bay Island Bonsai brochure. This year's auctioneer is Chris Johnston. Check the bonsai auction catalog for more information.
For those interested in past exhibit books you can find Bay Island Bonsai books at blurb.com.
