This is Flora weekend. Every year we put up a small exhibition and give some demonstrations. We want to present a real bonsai and our club to all visitors. This is already our ritual.

Ta konec tedna je v znamenju Flore. Druženje na sejmu v Celju, manjša klubska razstava in demonstracije so postale naš vsakoletni ritual. Naš namen je obisokovalcem približati pravi bonsaj in predstaviti klub.

Yesterday me and Raje worked at Tsuga canadensis, material which is ideal for such demonstrations. Our work get a lot of attention, some visitors stayed a whole day at our exhibition place. Two of them went home excited about bonsai, full of new knowledge. In seven hours from a bush to tree in pot: 

Z Rajetom sva delala na Čugi (Tsuga canadensis), materijalu, ki je pravzaprav idealen za takšne predstavitve. Demonstracija je pritegnila kar nekaj pozornosti, peščica obiskovalcev je na našem razstavnem prostoru vztrajala ves dan. Vsaj dva sta domov odšla navdušena iz veliko novega znanja o pravem bonsaju. V sedmih urah se je iz grma razvilo drevo v posodi: 

Of course there was visitors who coursed us because we torture trees. Lady from Celje will report us. I don't know to whom, but it is clear that despite of our effort there is still a lot of misunderstanding about bonsai. And that is sad. There is still a lot of work to be done!

Seveda so se našli tudi ljudje, ki so nas ozmerjali, ker mučimo drevesa. Gospa iz Celja nas bo kar prijavila. Ne vem sicer komu, je pa jasno, da je o bonsaju kljub našemu trudu razširjenih še veliko mitov in zmot. In to človeka razžalosti. Čaka nas še veliko dela!
