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

chin:
A typical deco at the base of a Pen Jing. Many of the Pen Jing depict hermit like life of scholars, or rustic village scenes.

chin:
Another important technique of Pen Jing. The tree trunk and branches are cut repeatedly to maintain the height, while allow the base of the trunk to grow thick. Sometimes the trunk will be cut open, without killing the tree, to allow or encourage deformed growth.

Deformation may not be the appripriate description but I will use the word until I found a better word. Very often this deformation is to highlight the resilient and strong life force of the tree.

chin:
Another important technique, which requires lots of patient, is to place a nice looking rock "within" the tree, such that the tree will grow around or hugging the rock to form the desired shape.

Just imagine how many years or months are required to have the tree grew around a rock! For a large size real life example, see my pictures from the trip to Angok Wat. The process is essentially the same.

chin:
One of my flavorites, and a larger one. This one shows another amazing technique of making the trees grow downward.

chin:
Sort of matching the picture on the pot...  :)
