MHBS ANNUAL SHOW MANY thanks to all who made our annual show a great success. The Saratoga Springs Public Library turned out to be a wonderful venue for the show. We certainly had many people who enjoyed the event. We plan on returning to this event next year. The club had so many accent plants that we filled two extra tables with them after insuring that each bonsai had an accent. Congratulations to Larry Mossey for winning the BCI medallion and to Pauline Muth for winning the ABS medallion. Thanks to Jake DeSilva for judging the show and giving us knowledge filled critique. Club members choose the following trees for the 2016 MABS exhibit. For not shohin trees Pauline’s hornbeam land and water Rob’s Azalea Bill’s Maple Tom’s Pyracantha ( back up) Larry’s Brazilian Raintree ( back up)
For our shohin exhibit Tom’s cotoneaster Sandy’s Hinoki Pauline’s 3 black pines Bill’s white pine Iris’s Ficus
Remember to keep your exhibition trees in good shape!! We know things happen over winter, so we have back ups.For those of you who missed it, here are some photos by Alan.
