January 18-19, 2014 will be different. Boon asked his club members to only show bonsai started in the Unites states for our 15 year anniversary show. That means bonsai mostly started in California. He felt that as a club, we could put on a really good show with only locally produced bonsai. It is a bit of a statement about what can be done locally with some good bonsai education.
Members were exited about this kind of anniversary show until they thought about Shohin bonsai. Most great Shohin were imports in the past. But Boon said, “Don’t worry. I have confidence in this club. We will have a quality Shohin section.” (I guess all of you who show up will be the judge of that.)
