I was bumping around YouTube, checking out some bonsai stuff, and I just found an ENTIRE 20-episode bonsai video series, available for free. I can’t believe my luck!
Each episode is about 10 minutes long, and is highly entertaining. There’s a lot of information here… and we get to see tons of great-looking bonsai trees. Best of all, it’s free! I love YouTube.
Here’s the first episode:
To make it really easy for you, I’ve put all 20 episodes into a playlist, so you can move from one episode to the next with absolutely no trouble. Hop on over to:
(Yeah, I know, what an unfortunate domain name. But the blogger is Thai, so I’m sure that the humor is unintentional. LOL!)
From what little I can gather from a Thai-to-English translator, this bonsai recently won an award. (OK, now that I look at it, that’s kind of obvious.)
I haven’t seen its competitors, but that tree totally deserves the award. Check out the trunk! Wonder how old it is. I like the stand, too… it doesn’t seem to take away from the beauty of the bonsai itself.
If you visit the website, you’ll see some of the other stands that he uses with his trees. Where on earth does he get those?! They’re stunning!
Anyway, I thought I’d share this with you because it’s extremely cool. Sometimes you don’t have to be able to read the text — a bonsai’s beauty is timeless and without national borders.
