Best Tropical in 5th US National - My learning experience in a big show

Congratulations to both of you! It's great to see a tree win an award that has been with the owner for many years of dedicated work. Your talent and skill displayed well. Mighty fine!

Chuah thanks for sharing, your tree is amazing!

Thank you very much. I have a lot of pleasure working on this ficus. Never thought a pre-bonsai would reach this far, 19+ years, it's like seeing our own kid grow up.

Hi Chuah, I´m looking at your blog and i saw this suiseki stand:

Could you send me the picture with more resolution? My father is a suiseki maker, so i would like to send him to take a closer look.

Here are two photos of suiseki and Chinese gongshi vendors at the show. I cropped the photos to emphasized the stones. Hope they help.
