Bonsaiare known for their small size. But Mame Bonsai(up to 4" or 10cm) take the quest for miniaturization one step further. Mame and pottery artist Haruyosi (Japan) shares with us several of his miniature works of wonder.
Absolutely stunning, a Prunus incisa Thunb. ex Murray, in full bloom. Pyracantha angustifolia Shohin Most Mame Bonsaiare around 2" (5cm) tall, like this Juniper. Mame literally means "Bean" in Japanese. Hinoki and Shinpaku seedlings, to be styled and trained as Mame 51cg. One of the seedlings is placed in a tiny Bonsaipot. Two Mame are repotted into small, glazed pots. The result. A miniature Chaenomeles speciosa. Komayumi, with large roots, ready to be potted. The Komayumi, after root pruning. The Komayumi, planted in small Bonsaipots. Kaede maples, or Trident maple, ready to be potted. The result. For its tiny size, this Premna japonica is quite mature and realistic. Two accent plants (Shitakusa), Saxifraga stolonifera. Closeup of the Saxifraga stolonifera.
