FICUS SHOW AND UNUSUAL TREES 1999

This page is dedicated to my Master and Friend Giovanni Genotti , because , each time I visit his bonsai garden , I find always some extraordinary thing ; he is a very eclectic man and hides his trees very well for to show you them when someone asks for . Some time ago I asked for a ficus petiolaris , he looked at me smiling and said : come to take a picture next week-end . The week-end 09/03-04/'99 our club done a show  with only ficus :
