This penjing
garden is a fenced-off enclave within the Humble Administrator’s Garden. It's
not very big, but it has enough trees to enthral any bonsai practitioner
(see images below).
This
garden had a good mix of species, but conifers, especially pines were
still a majority. Images below show some of the larger pines in
the garden.
There
were a lot of medium sized pines as well (see images below).
Junipers
were well represented too (images below).
Images
below show a few Podocarpus penjing.
Busy
backgrounds of this garden made it difficult to take good photos of the trees. It was
especially challenging to photograph deciduous trees. I did get lucky in some instances. Below are some photos of the deciduous trees taken against plain backgrounds.
More deciduous
tree images below.
There
were a few instances of broad leaved trees with the leaves on, which would give
you a glimpse of how deciduous penjing look in autumn (see images below).
And
finally, there were a few rock penjing compositions shown in the images below.
This
place is a must for a bonsai enthusiast visiting Suzhou.
