Honey, I Shrunk the Chrysanthemums

I thought Reiko and I had seen every possible variation on the chrysanthemum theme when we went to Sankeien Garden last month but somehow we missed the bonsai version.

Imagine the patience and fine motor skills required to compose these little vignettes depicting what I assume to be famous views (I recognized a couple of the diorama subjects).

These are positively the last chrysanthemum pictures, at least for 2009. The shows have ended and I'm off in search of the next item on my horticultural calendar, maple trees.

This is Hakone, with Mt. Fuji in the background.
