Well, a slightly better picture after some digging and fixing poles today.
Better view of the jungle anyway...

Nice! How do you keep the jungle on the other side of the fence?

Nice. I've never seen one of those before, and for a second I thought the name of it was your user name, Dark Jelly Fish.

It’s a tropical species native to SE Asia, Diospyros actually sounds a lot cooler than my usernameNice. I've never seen one of those before, and for a second I thought the name of it was your user name, Dark Jelly Fish.

Found this mugo at a big store when I was shopping for presents for my kids to give their mom for moms day. I figured it would be father's day, my birthday, Christmas or (fill in a believable excuse for me to buy myself something I really don't need). But it's a good looking little tree!

A couple of Hong Kong kumquat and a pot for my big cascade wisteria. Got them at the PBS show and spring festival.

I bought some reptile feeders to work as suiban for my next penjing. Also the grey rock. The reddish rocks I found close to my home....

I bought a cool little Japanese carving knife- basically an ergonomic shaped piece of sharpened steel. I have always been a big proponenet of cleaning wound edges on big cuts with a razor or Xacto and this knife does the job beautifully with better leverage and control on bigger cuts. This was the first Bonsai purchase I had made in a few years I think. I have plenty of trees (and can’t seem to stop myself from making more!)… So I don’t know if I WILL be buying any new ones for some time. Likely I should start selling them again…I just purchased a nursery stock Acer Palmatum Corallinum because I didn’t have one and it’s nice. Using a new seller who’s prices are really quite good compared to other online nursery’s offering the same size range for higher costs. So if things turn out well I’ll be adding them to the “European websites” thread.
Got my eye on a few more from them for the future including some Mugo’s if I am satisfied with my test purchase.

My wife wanted to clean up her sunroom some, and that's my workshop for repotting,
so a win for us both.

Just picked up a copy of Bonsai Heresy from Stone Lantern. From what I've heard it's more geared towards refinement (whereas I'm almost entirely development at this point), but I'm looking forward to reading it.
Also, has anyone read the Bonsai Today Master Series books? The majority of my trees are JBP and Junipers and these seem to be a good price, was thinking of them for an early bday present

More manual carving tools, bigger and stronger to be used with a mallet.

The one on Pines can be very confusing, as it is a culmination of different artists on different trees.
I rarely pick up the Juniper book except to glance at the Calendar, and there's 2 of those that differ in the "book"...
These "books" are different pieces from Bonsai Today series. If you have the money, they're worth the time to read.
The pages are single and apparently glued in, so that they fall out after a few turns, or at least in my case.
Only books I've ever had this happen with that I can recall. It's inconvenient at worst for me. I haven't lost any pages.
Maybe she's worried. Don't turn your back, she may want to strike first.
awwww kitty! I love her name!
