Not exactly sure when my love for trees / plants started. I remember when i was a kid pulling up plants i thought were neat and trying to pot them up. I bout my first bonsai when i was 12 it was a juniper bonsai sold on the side of the road i didnt know squat about them and i killed it. However...

Not to down play this in any way i joined just recently and made a thread in the wrong forum and remarks were made but it ended up being nothing more than a misunderstanding. There are however jerks in every group and we all need to remember bonsai is an art form and there are some guidelines...

That's all i've bought lol. I have yet to use them though. I keep all mine in cut down nursery pots. I don't see anything wrong with blue pots i don't care for light blue pots too much dark blue is nice. I do think that red flowering bonsai or red leaves in fall make a nice contrast with any...

That is beautiful! Has it flowered for you yet?

In my defense you don't see the fine print till after you have clicked on the forum so I wasn't looking for it. and thank you for clarifying and apologizing...

Nice yeah I first seen these as a small nursry and it had the wrong name on the pot took me another year to find it at a houston garden center here with the proper name... there was this other one i wanted to try the Blue Butterfly Bush (Clerodendrum ugandense, Rotheca myricoides) as a bonsai...

It does give me some peace of mind thank you. If you plant on putting pictures up i would love to see them thank you....
