Beautiful tree. I collected some western larches earlier this spring but most of them didnt make it. Any insight on when to best collect and maybe after care? I misted them a few times a day and had them on a equal parts lava pumice perlite and vermiculite mix. They really dont seem to like heat...

looks good i might give that a try. bob uses "uncommon" material himself http://www.bonsaisite.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=24355

im gonna start calling you Klytus the Visionary

he is a pnbc instructor alongside dan robinson. http://pnbca.com/instructors.html ...it says there he has been a member of the victoria bonsai club since 2002. i would be pretty pissed off if i paid the guy a hundreds bucks to do a beginners workshop then find out a year later that what he...

if not the funniest :D
