Making time on my little road trip to hit up the Yamaguchi bonsai nursery in Los Angeles.

Essentially all of these trees are hundreds, and even THOUSANDS of dollars beyond my price range (even on my most financially irresponsible days), but just seeing them and enjoying the artistry of them has been a real treat for me.

This ficus in particular had me feeling all sorts of ways. I love the air roots dropping down from the branches. At some point I need to get a ficus tigerbark or a standard microcarpa, but as of right now I have the most humble ficus ginseng imaginable.

And just LOOK at the beautiful deadwood on this magnificent juniper. These are always my favorite not just for the pure aesthetics, but the vibe of vibrant life and beautiful death being so perfectly paired together.

This photo simply cannot do it justice, but this pine had the most aged, crunchy bark I've ever seen on a pine bonsai, and for me that is just so aesthetically pleasing. The aged, weathered and wizened look is one of many reasons why older trees always look so majestic and powerful. It makes the tree look like an intrepid survivor.

I'm guessing this giant is a yamadori collected here in the States, but I could be wrong.

Even the smallest trees are hundreds of dollars, but despite that price tag you really can't complain. What you're really paying for is the experience, patience and artistry of the person who created that piece of living art you're taking home.
