Working Bonsai by The Washington Bonsai Club
This is a working bonsai page on which club members contribute photos either of club or personal trees not only as a record, but also to note the history of our care for the bonsai.

We will add comments and issues from time to time.

If you wish to comment, please email me and I will post the comment or query
