Here are a few of the bonsai trees which were displayed at the 2014 flower show in Pune.

In Japan growing bonsai is a way of life. It is believed that the bonsai tree symbolizes a balance between nature man and soul thus leading to inner peace and serenity. In the words of Bonsai master Saburo Kato of Japan the bonsai is loyal if you water and fertilize regularly with loving care. Life is more meaningful when we care for these little trees with love. The life of the Bonsai is much longer than us and so the bonsai must be passed on to the next generation.

  1. Beautiful bonsai. It needs a certain care to grow it. And an extra patience. Love especially the one with orange fruits.

    I just wandered in here and am glad I did. Lovely quotes. BTW, do you believe that Bonsai stunts progress in life?

    Great title Dilip, for Bonsai are indeed fascinating! Thanks for sharing this delightful post with great photos and very interesting information. I knew they lived long, but hadn’t really thought of how they are passed along as heirlooms. Namaste. Gina
