Hong Kong Flower Show 香港花卉展 (13-Mar-2009)

This is a very unusually combination created from something very common.

This plant is very common in Hong Kong. It's a herbal plant that cures certain skin irratation with external application.

We see this plan almost everywhere in Hong Kong - a lot taller and bigger than this Pen Jing BUT the trunk not as thick. Perhaps it shows the time it took to shape this Pen Jing.

Also this is also the first time I see this plant used in Pen Jing.

Is this a Banyan tree? Banyan tree is generally very big, but this one is perhaps 1.5 feet tall. The roots are grown very nicely.

More rocks.

Another rather amazing one. This is perhaps the largest Ben Jing I saw in this show.

And yes, the trees are real and alive.

I think the first picture could easily be mistaken as a pictures taken in the forest of big trees.

But the actual size of the tree trunks are probably only 1 inch diameter. This is another fine example of growing a forest from one tree.

Zhu Ge Liang?

[chin]

Too many horses, in my opinion.

A wider view of the Pen Jing show.

Now some flower pictures from the flower show.
