The viewing stone pictured here comes from the Naraigawa River in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Displaying the stone in a bed of sand recalls islands rising from the sea.

Fried chicken and doughnuts in the nation's capital and Falls Church, Va. And a pretty awesome food truck on a corner near you.
The training age of this Chinese Emperor-plum (Osteomeles boninesis) remains unknown. What do you think? Guess the tree's training age in the replies.

The trident maple pictured here has been in training since 1919. Cultivated from a seedling, this tree is actually rooted to a rock. It was gifted to the Museum by Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi in 1999.

In training since 1980, this Pasture Juniper (Juniperus communis var. depressa) was gifted to the museum by Jack B. Douthitt in 1990. The elegant trunk gives this juniper a unique, yet balanced appearance.
Don't forget that the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum is hosting the Potomac Bonsai Association's Fall Show next weekend! See you there 🍁
The Near-View Mountain Stone originates from the Wyoming desert. This type of white stone with horizontal layering is unique to American viewing stones.
How well do you know the Director of the U.S. National Arboretum? Dr. Richard Olsen sat down with NBF to discuss his history and his ambitions for the Museum.

The Chinese Juniper 'Itoigawa' (Juniperus chinesis) pictured here is a young bonsai in training since 2006. It was carefully crafted by grafting branches onto a trunk of another species, the Juniperus horizontalis 'Prostrata.'
This Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) has been in training since 1989. Al Nelson gifted this treasure from his ranch in Santa Barbara, California in 2016. #bonsai #bonsailovers #nature #museums
This photo illustration of last night's harvest moon over the Japanese Pavilion makes us feel ready to be tucked into bed for sweet bonsai dreams.
Did you know that the harvest moon rises closest to the autumn equinox?
