Wedding report
Jim and Jackie Lewis and I were proud to represent the IBC at Craig
and Anita's wedding, and it was a bonsai-studded event. The chapel was decorated, not with flowers, but with bonsai (which Jim and I had to lug to the reception after the ceremony!). After the wedding there was a reception, and one room held a bonsai display that wouldn't have been out of place at a regional bonsai convention! There were trees, accent plants and viewing stones. The wedding guests seemed genuinely interested, if a little bewildered. Jim went around and judged the trees! After the reception, we went to Craig's house (Jim and I helped move the trees to Craig's backyard: we didn't trust non-bonsai people to touch them! Jim hand-carried a 40-lb pine so it wouldn't get damaged). Of course Jim and I wanted to see Craig's famous collected honeysuckles, which were just as amazing as he always claimed. Oh, and the bride was radiant. Nina, your society-page botanist. |

The wedding guests seemed genuinely interested, if a little bewildered. Jim went around and judged the trees! Purely unofficially. Strangely from this non-conifer guy, the 3 top winners were all conifers -- a medium size white pine semi- cascade, a large ponderosa pine windswept/semi-cascade, and a shohin juniper (not necessarily in that order). I think Craig will post a few pics when he and Anita get back from Arizona.

Oh, and the bride was radiant. Craig seemed to hold up pretty well, too. ;-) Nina, your society-page botanist.
