Seen here is a stunning pink Bonsai azalea in bloom at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum in Washington, D.C.

The National Bonsai & Penjing Museum began when Japanese bonsai enthusiasts in the Nippon Bonsai Association donated 53 bonsai and 6 viewing stones to the people of the United States to commemorate the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976. The collection has grown steadily ever since and is now one of the largest in North America.
