I travelled north to the seaside town of Ayr on the west coast of Scotland yesterday, for my annual visit to the Ayr Flower Show. This large county show always has some impressive bonsai displays and this year was no exception. In fact, I would say that this years’ show had some of the best bonsai displays that I have seen in Scotland
The new layout from the Ayr Club included some innovative display ideas and earned them a well deserved large gold medal. Here are my best pictures of the new display.
Dougie Smith of Wattston Bonsai also won a large gold medal for his display for the second year in a row
