Bonsai Trees!

With my dad being a electrician he goes to all sorts interesting (and not so interesting) places to work. One of the recent jobs was a Bonsai (properly pronounced BONES-EYE) Grower in Henrietta.
The cool thing is it's one of the most largest and well know Bonsai Tree Exhibits IN THE WORLD.
And it's all in his back yard. His house was burned down due to bad wiring and my dad was hired to do the wiring in the new house.
Mr. Valvanis (the owner) has a conference that fills hotel on that side of Rochester, with people from all over the world (mostly Japan) to see his collection.
Most of the trees are over 100 years old and worth hundred or MILLIONS of dollors... i'll let that settle in for a minute... I shall continue now that your over the shock.
But the pictures you will see in the video and stunning. I had to make a video so it would take forever to upload. The trees in the green room and tropical trees and require proper temperature to live, the rest live in pots outside year round.
If you have any questions please leave it in the comment section and i'll see if i can find the answer. Also if you want a particular picture, let me know and i can e-mail it to you.

Hey Mike! :)

That is so cool! Thanks for posting...I have never seen so many of "those" types of trees in one place before!

Tell your family that I said hello.
