The Ogre

This photo of a Bonsai Eastern Whitecedar was taken at the Bonsai Garden at the North Carolina Arboretum off the Blue Ridge Parkway near mile marker 394 on 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way Asheville North Carolina.  The term Bonsai (pronounced Bone-sigh) first appeared in China over one thousand years ago as an art of growing dwarfed shaped trees or shrubs in small shallow containers.  They typical took the form of animals, dragons and birds.  This particular bonsai caught my eye as it was labelled 'The Ogre'.  Comments please!
