Bonsai Inspiration is everywhere
I personally prefer outdoor trees and probably for the very reason that many people reject them. First, they don't clutter up my house- which might sound strange because I am a passionate gardener and I love plants - but frankly in the house I find them to be a bit of a pain. My outdoor trees as I write in December are all sitting in my vegetable garden- dug into the ground and hopefully hidden from the rabbits. They will eat the bark in the winter if they get a chance and last year they ate my seedling Sargent's crabapples to the ground - which seriously pissed me off.
Take a look at some of these trees and you'll understand why I'm in love with outdoor trees.
Here's a look at a small larch forest I love this blog because he shares my climate.
If you wonder why some people feel that only outdoor trees truly mirror the feeling of bonsai (an opinion I do not share) you can take a look at some of these scenes from Yosemite and see where the inspiration comes from - and why its so powerful
And speaking of inspiration - nothing like attending - or just viewing an online summary from a bonsai show - like this look at the Bonsai Society of Victoria (Australia) 2012 Show
