I have never shared images of the amazing
Bonsai Trees in Longwood Gardens.
It is a large and quite beautiful display.
Each tree is identified and the date of its origination is noted!
Japanese Zelkova...Training began 1909
Hinoki False Cypress...Training began 1930
Pomegranate...Training began 1960
Ginko...Training began 1909
Trident Maple...Training began 1990
Crape - Myrtle...Training began 1944
Crape - Myrtle...Training began 1944
Bald Cypress...Training began 1988
Loose-Flower Hornbeam...Training began 1991
Azalea...Training began 1970
And here we are Gail, I was thrilled that you "missed us" in my last post!
