A friend informed me that there was a Bonsai Suiseki competition and exhibition at Aeon Falim. The exhibition was held on the 23rd Dec. Two evenings later, we dropped by to see the exhibition. We have never seen so many Bonsai plants, wood and rocks on display and we were glad we went. Thanks to our friend for informing me. Hope you enjoy the photos.
Suiseki also known as viewing stones is the Japanese art of stone appreciation. Formed through time by wind and water, stones can take several sizes and shapes, reminding us of natural objects.

You know, I think my favorite is the second collage. The trees with no leaves. You can see their beautiful forms, with no leaves covering them up. I would have loved to go to this!

DeleteBonsai! An uncle was crazy over bonzai. Haha. Used to show us his prized bonzai whenever we went to his house. Not sure he is still into it or not after sold his house and moved in with my cousin and family.
