During the recent Redwood Empire Bonsai Society’s 35th Annual Bonsai Show, August 25 and 26, 2018, held at the Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building, the San Francisco Suiseki Kai displayed an impressive suiseki (viewing stones) exhibition. Two long rows of viewing stones were on display within the great exhibition hall. The viewing stones were collected from Northern California and Japan. My favorite display was that of a beautiful Japanese Chrysanthemum stone by Hideko Metaxas.
