Autumn Bonsai Flowers and Chrysanthemum Stone

Happy floral Friday! Today my dear husband and I enjoyed a trip to the National Arboretum for the opening day of their new Fall Bonsai Exhibit, located in their National Bonsai and Penjing Museum area. I am planning another post featuring my five favorite bonsai trees from this special event so come back soon if you'd like to see them.

I love this little (it was about 8" high and wide) autumn bonsai floral arrangement.

This seems more like an Ikebana floral arrangement than a bonsai to me. I appreciate that they incorporated autum flowers and foliage.

This tiny bonsai looked even prettier in person with autumnal orange petals and bright green centers.

They included a few viewing stones in the display too and I thought this chrysanthemum stone was perfect for our floral Friday theme.

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall season. May God bless you now and always!
