I’m afraid I’m a bit late answering Gail‘s question about my oncologist’s amazing azalea bonsai. The whole plant is about 18″ high. But the lower branch swoops below the roots, so I’d say the whole thing is about 2 feet tall.
I find it rather satisfying that my oncologist nurtures little lives as a hobby.
Thanks for the information, Patti. My art teacher happened to mention the other day that there was an azalea bonzai show coming to the US arboretum (http://www.usna.usda.gov/). My ears perked up, just having seen your post and being alerted to the fact that such a thing existed. It’s running until June 8th. I might take a run over there with my camera.
