The bonsai on display at the BBG actually belong to the Alabama Bonsai Society. . . I think we have one azalea left, but it's smaller; maybe 14" tall with a 4-5" trunk . . .We do still have a Natal Plum that was purportedly styled by John Naka. It's big, but rather unkempt.

The one I am talking about was an indica--a layering that had formed an awesome base and was just about a free standing plant to begin with.
The height sounds a little short from my memories of it. Was a lovely informal upright with some lovely arms. In flower it almost mocked a
rosey spoonbill settling onto the water. Pity if it was lost to stupid.

Doesn't sound familiar, but it's been a while since they've been disbursed out to the various members, so it could be residing somewhere. The club makes every effort to bring the collection back to the display for the cherry blossom festival in March, so it may be an opportunity to take an inventory.
