yeup yeup...got this lil bugger for $20 at Home Depot today. I was doin job searches all day and its been raining like a mo fo so I decided to go out and get an orchid plant that I've been wantin for a while.

Then I came across this sweet lookin bush with $20 marked on it. I didn't realize till I got to the register but this was the price of just the pot. He rang up the TREE twice and it totalled $60...I was like wtf?? You just rang it up twice, he's like...oh my bad, and just charges for the pot

yeeeah I rock

 

Have funn trimming those buggers

 

um...good job?



:fawk:

 

as you can see, the wire training has begun

BTW, in the first pic, that's my water color rendition of a wood print "Mnt Fuji" i did back in the day

 

:eek3: Mr. Miyagi

 

you should have seen this ****er when I got it home. I spent an hour pruining it to my liking.

I've been doing a lot of research wrote by masters the past month or so. I finally got the niche of pruining and training in my own style. I love it!!

be careful, a lot of the trees sold in home depot and places like that are sick. you're going to need to give it vitamins, etc. a good book is called the bonsai survival guide.

mine just died :happysad: i was told they were old enough to repot, but they weren't
now i have to wait til i move to get new ones.

 

I'm thinking about getting an aloe vera plant or a catus...no simple plants for me, but a bonsai is too much work :happysad:

 

there's one you can get thats really low maintenance. if you're interested let me know, i'll find it for you.
