Bougainvillea glabra from http://www.artofbonsai.org/galleries/castano.php

Enrique Castano will be in town on Monday, June 20.    We are having the meeting at CeeJay’s Nursery  – Carolyn’s place – and will begin promptly at 6:30.   We will be getting a pre-bonsai tree from Eric Wigert and I expect this to be an outstanding program. 

We have talked about a workshop prior to the meeting.   So, let’s presume there WILL be a workshop.  The total cost of $300 would be divided amongst those attending (provide your own tree and tools). The workshop would probably begin about 2pm.   If you want to participate IF there is a workshop please contact Paul.

Directions to Cee Jay Nursery:
It’s very easy to find………………..just stay on 98 going towards Bartow, go past the Polk Parkway & 540.  (From Plant City you could come on the parkway.)  Then on the left you will pass PSC/UCF campus (there is a light)……..then a huge cemetery…………..after that there will be a turn lane to turn left on Lake Hancock Road.  The nursery is down the street on the left.  There is usually a pickup with a huge sign in the back advertising Cee-Jay Nursery parked on Lake Hancock Road that you can see from 98.

No Spies Please

Hello Potential Subscribers,

We’ve been getting a lot of fake subscribers to our blog, so if you’re a real person who is interested in bonsai, please submit a comment.  I will then be notified that there’s a comment for review and I’ll approve you post haste!  Otherwise, I’ll have to assume that you’re just trying to advertise your Viagra website and delete your account during my periodic housecleaning fits.  Sorry…some people ruin it for everyone else, I know…

Thanks,

Esther, BSL Blog Administrator

Esther here…with a question for you all.  The newsletters are excellent, aren’t they?  In the email accompanying Gail’s latest issue I asked who would like a paper copy printed out and available at the next BSL meeting.  Now here’s the big question:  Would you be interested in a COLOR paper copy?  Would you be willing to pay for the extra copying cost?  Please reply via a comment or by sending me an email.

Thanks!

Japanese Textiles & Prints
Polk Museum of Art
April 10 – June 27, 2010

RECEPTION: Friday, April 9, 6:00 – 8:30pm. Featuring a lecture at 6pm by Jason Steuber, Cofrin Curator of Asian Art at the Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida, Gainesville. Free for Museum Members, $10 Non-Members.

CLICK HERE to RSVP to the museum.

Polk Museum of Art is home to a small, but beautiful, collection of Japanese textiles and prints, including several kimonos that were donated in 2006. This exhibition will include a few of those, as well as Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s master woodblock print series 32 Aspects of Women.

There is another Japanese exhibit there at the same time, Functional Ceramics: European and Japanese – highlighting Japanese and European ceramics to address Japan’s greater focus on form versus Europe’s greater focus on surface decoration. The ceramics exhibit runs until July 18.

Anyway –  hope to see a good number of you heading to Clif’s tomorrow.
