Woke up this morning and Thank God it's much cooler and less humid thanks to some big thunderstorms last night.

It was a bit warm at the exhibit today. I checked the temperature in Houston at one point and was REALLY bummed to find out it was 15 degrees cooler back home than it was in Rochester. Today will be much better.

Bill was a ball of fire yesterday and I never got the chance to say this to him in person. I'll try again today, but in case I don't get the chance, I'll say that coming here has reminded me how much of a giant that Bill Valavanis is in our community. Thank you, Bill for hosting the National Show for nearly a decade as well the myriad of other things you've done, large and small, to promote and improve bonsai in America. You are truly a force in our little piece of the world and our participation in this wonderful art has been touched by the many things you do.

Hi Paradox - I'm just a visitor, but I'm easy to spot. I'm the only one there who can see eye-to-eye with Bjorn!

I see the tropical and kusamono award was given, have the others been awarded? This exhibit looks like a high point for American bonsai to me, from my desk chair perspective...

Yes they were all given last night.
Suthin won one, Boon got another. I didnt recognize most of the names so forget who got what at this point...sorry
And yes, everyone seems very excited about the number and quality of trees this year

Todd Schlafer, a member here, won the award for best North American tree, which, I believe, is a collected spruce.

Yes thats a very nice tree.
I didn't realize he is a member. What's his name on here.
Damn lots of BNutters I still havent met here yet...
Nice tribute--He has hung in there all these years, with a special energy, when so many of his generation and so many of the"eastern originals" disengaged and retired to their gardens and families or just got tired of it all. He has bad ankles but he is a damned good bonsai man.

Honestly, I can't remember his user name, and he hasn't posted in more then a couple of years. He's out of CO and collects and sells CO natives like spruce, pine and juniper.
