This Overgrown Bush Became An Elegant Bonsai

In this bonsai process, we take a dense, post-bloom azalea bush and restyle it using two distinct methods. First, we tackle a large flowering bush, pruning the chaotic outer growth to maintain a clean canopy structure while ensuring maximum airflow and health for next year's blooms. Then, we transition into meticulous bonsai creation on a smaller specimen, selecting dominant trunk lines, pruning back old stubborn wood, and utilizing precise wiring techniques to define structural layers and create elegant negative space. Every cut in this bonsai transformation serves a purpose to balance future flowering with artistic geometry. What would YOU do with this tree?
