Saike Demonstration at Rainbow Bonsai Club

Andrea and I attended the Rainbow Bonsai Club regular monthly meeting at The Plant Place in Waimanalo on Sunday morning, August 12. Vice President John Arafiles had arranged for Herb Okemura to demonstrate saike (Japanese rock planting).


After our regular business meeting, Herb Okemura is ready to demonstrate.


First he places the rocks in the pot.

Next he plants the remaining trees. He finishes with small rocks, mondo grass, moss, and a water feature in front.

Club member Donald won the saike in the benefit drawing. Herb very graciously waived the usual honorarium.
