An example of Chinese-style crab-claw narcissus.
The Honolulu Academy of Arts will host a narcissus and bonsai display Saturday and Sunday in honor of the Chinese New Year.
The narcissus on view represent the culmination of a five-week course on the art of cultivating crab-claw narcissus taught by Gilman Hu at the academy. Known as "Mr. Narcissus" by his students, Hu has traveled frequently to China to study his art. He offers classes locally and on the mainland.
The display is not limited to Hu's students, however. Narcissus growers who want to show their skills can enter plants 8 to 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the academy's Ward Avenue parking lot. There is no charge to enter.
Eight clubs involved in the Hawaii Bonsai Association will round out the exhibition with a showing of their work.
Bonsai sensei will be on hand throughout the show to answer questions. Demonstrations will be given.
Academy hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $7 general, $4 seniors, students and military, free for members and children under 12.
