In July of 2015, I made a blog post about The 3rd National Juried Bonsai Pot Exhibition, in which I had made some kusamono in the pots of some of the previous years winners. One of the kusamono I made was an Iris cristata ‘Tennessee White’ in a pot by April Grimsby. 

On June 12, 2015, the National Bonsai Foundation (NBF) hosted the 3rd National Juried Bonsai Container Exhibition opening reception was held in the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum at the U.S. National Arboretum.
