Companion plants

Instead of showing bonsai on their own, Bay Island Bonsai exhibits trees in 6 foot displays with companion or accent plants. The addition of companion plants to a composition helps suggest a season or scene. My favorite accents typically feature a mix of varieties and just barely fit in their containers. Which are your favorites?

Feel free, by the way, to let me know the names of these – I’ll be happy to update the post with the proper names.
