2010 IBA Fall Bonsai Show

Every fall the IBA membership struts its stuff and each time it is a
very different show. A highlight of this show was the performance
of a traditional Japanese matcha tea ceremony by members of the
Japan America Society of Iowa. The program drew a large and
attentive audience on Saturday afternoon. A special exhibit of Asian
companion material included Omoto (Rhodea japonica), Samurai
orchids (Neofinetia falcata), Sekkoku (Dendrobium moniliforme),
Japanese cymbidiums, and dwarf variegated clivias. Kusamono,
saikei, and suiseki were also exhibited.
