Bonsai

Some of you will know that John was heavily into Bonsai when we lived in Lincolnshire. Unfortunately he left most of his bonsai trees behind when we moved out of The Old Vicarage. Frankly we had nowhere to keep them and didn't know how long we would be in temporary accommodation.

The climate in South West France is far from conducive to growing bonsai but he has dabbled a little. Spring is the time they look their best so I wanted to share their beauty with you. 

This is a cascade style Japanese Quince.

He is aware that this forsythia (informal upright) needs pruning but we wanted to let it flower.
