Bonsai Exhibition Set For Late November
Evergreen art: The history of the
art of Bonsai dates back to the
Tang and Sung dynasties.
The Hong Kong Bonsai Exhibition will be held in Kowloon Park's Banyan Court from November 25 to December 4. Admission is free.
Bonsai has a long history dating back to the Tang and Sung dynasties. It later spread to the West.
Shape and spatial arrangement are essential to the art of bonsai, but the essence of the art is to reflect the beauty of nature.
Plants that are commonly used for bonsai horticulture are Fukien Tea, Sageretia, Fire-thorn, Serissa, Buddhist Pine, Elm, Rhododendron, Juniper and Bougainvillea.
Plants of developed roots, short stems and small lustrous leaves are generally better choices for bonsai purposes. Flowering plants should be able to stand a long time to be appreciated.
The art of bonsai has evolved in different ways and has a variety of styles. Matching pots and tables are also important to complement the beauty of the plants.
