Making Bonsai Pancakes with Peter Tea
If you don't know Peter, one of our most accomplished young bonsai artists, you're in for a treat. And if you do know Peter, you're still in for a treat. One thing that jumps out for me with this remarkable tree, is the well developed ramification all the way out...

2023 Taikan-ten Bonsai Exposition
We've got some great shots from the 2023 Taikan-ten Bonsai Exposition that I'm sure you'll like. I found them on Peter Tea's FB page. Peter Tea presented so many phenomenal shots from the 2023 Taikan-ten Expo, that it's hard to know where to start. I guess this juniper will do... ......
Eccentric Bonsai: Too Strange, or Just Strange Enough?
Strange as this old tree is, it all works together with a blend of eccentricity and balance (and remarkable ramification*). This photo and the others in this post are from Peter Tea Bonsai Way back in 2009 and early 2010 we ran a series of posts that we called Eccentric...

A Different Kind of Root-over-Rock
A strange sort of root-over-rock. You might imagine that it started more or less like other root overs, but because the rock is so small, the roots grew under it and pushed it up, while also growing around one side and creating a firm grip on the rock. Though I originally thought the...
Some Kind of Bonsai Magic
I'm not sure how Peter Tea keeps putting up so many quality bonsai. Every time I visit his Facebook timeline (about once a week) there is another batch of great trees in various stages. A seemingly endless progression. Some from before, but a surprising number each time that I haven't...
One Trunk Dead, the Other Alive & the Importance of Identification
Pine with parallel slanting trunks that start as a single tree and split at the base. One trunk dead, the other alive. It caught my attention because it's a somewhat unusual slanting tree with the pot and the visual weight of the foliage balancing each other perfectly. This and the...
Root OVER Rock Bonsai
The sheer beauty and power of Suthin Sukosolvisit’s roots-devouring-rock bonsai is a good example of why Suthin has long been one of our favorite bonsai artists. Over time, roots can virtually swallow rocks, especially with trees as vigorous as this Trident maple, which happens to be the most popular type...
