Bonsai Blog of John Pitt

experimenting with oxides in different ways,

I was very inspired by the pots I saw in Japan

Hi everyone, sorry for lack of updates recently, I’ve been very busy making commissions.

I went to Japan recently to see the Kokufu exhibition, some nurseries and a few private gardens.

WOW, the trip of a lifetime, an amazing experience, see a few pictures here….

The best colour I’ve ever had on this one.

White beech

shohin Rosemary

Seigen maple

And this sempervivum thinks it’s still summer.

Arrived back home, just in time to photo these before the leaves drop.

I’m on the last part of my european tour, I stay with a good friend in Geneva, Yesterday I was a tourist in Geneva, a very beautiful city, and some very beautiful trees.

today I setup for my last exhibition for “bonsai club du Leman”.

A few days ago I stayed with my friend in Grenoble, we went into the Alps,  such a beautiful place, it feels like you are on top of the world, and so cold the water turns to ice.

No trees showing colour yet in my garden, but these caught my eye today.

This is a pale lilac/purple, beautiful depth of colour, and some variations,

 the picture dosn’t do it justice, I’m afraid my photography is pretty basic.
