Then on to Serge Clemence in Dagmersellen, Switzerland. His lovely wife, Evelyne, is quite interested in bonsai and also goes collecting with Serge. He calles her his 'truffel pig', because she always finds the best trees. She is posing next to one of the best larches ever collected which she found.
