The Guangzhou International Bonsai Invitation Exhibition in November was the largest bonsai show in Guangzhou ever. In this bonsai show, 800 penjing were displayed (for a reference of the size – the greatest bonsai exhibition in Japan, Kokufu-ten, will display around 250 bonsai in its coming 2011 exhibition). This bonsai show in Guangzhou had successfully demonstrated the charm of penjing, particularly Lingnan penjing – an ancient and unique treasure that reflects the essence of Lingnan garden culture. Besides different parts of the mainland China, a great number of the bonsai displayed were from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand. In addition, 40 golds, 78 silvers, and 169 bronzes were awarded in the bonsai show.

I went to Hong Kong Flower Show earlier last month. While the flowers in the show were beautiful, they were not my main purpose for going to the show. It was the small bonsai exhibition in the Hong Kong Flower Show that had got my very interest.

Check out this post for Bonsai Exhibition in Hong Kong Flower Show 2011.

Some of these are bonsai trees of some senior members of Hong Kong Institute of Lingnan Penjing (which has a bonsai workshop where I grow bonsai and learn bonsai techniques).

While almost all of the bonsai trees in the bonsai exhibition looked great, there was one that was… ridiculous. How could someone use some paper clips to hang up those already-rotted citrus fruits on his bonsai tree? Sorry, but to me, this is disgraceful…

I went to the Guangzhou Penjing (Bonsai) Exhibition in Martyrs’ Park yesterday. With over 350 lingnan penjing (southern style Chinese bonsai), it’s the biggest lingnan penjing exhibition since the founding of the country.

A truly A+ penjing should look just as exquisite when it is naked of leaves, as the times when it is blooming vigorously with leaves and flowers.
