The amount of patience and skill required to grow such unique trees is well known, yet most of us don't get to see bonsai displayed very often. Given that this art is mainly confined to Japan, it's not a great surprise that the very best bonsai aren't received with very much fan fare - but it's certainly a great shame. That's why we've scoured the web to bring you 13 of the most beautiful bonsai ever photographed. Enjoy!
