Letter to the Editor: BONSAAAAIIII!!! Edition

That pretty one in the front has been in "training" since 1876! That means someone's been grooming it and repotting it since 1876.


Doesn't this look like a woman with bushy green hair doing yoga? Downward dog to be exact.


This was the oldest bonsai in the garden, in training since the 1600s.

"This stinks! This is total BS! I’ve been waiting since SATURDAY to see Chris’s bonsai pics from the Arboretum. Chris Weekly talks all this yang about a commitment to serving its readers and blah blah blah. I’ve been checking the site every few minutes here at work and now I’m getting a hard time from my supervisor, and performance reviews are coming up next week! I’m starting to regret my “I’d Rather Be Reading Chris Weekly” tattoo. CAN YOU PLEASE POST CHRIS’S BONSAI PICS ALREADY?!!! Hey, Chris! CW forever, buddy!"

Our apologies, Warren. While you were checking for bonsai pics, we were MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE VIRGINIA PRIMARIES and something had to give schedule-wise. In any event, it's Chris's birthday week so let's not argue. The pics are now posted for your viewing pleasure.
