The Japanese name for azalea, satsuki, originally was the word for the month of May. This bonsai’s trunk rises straight up, then diverges into two before growing thick leaves. The title of this bonsai is Seidai, and means magnificent imperial reign, referring to the early summer period during which the tree is covered with flowers with pink tints.
