    Collected Colorado Blue Spruce

    Here's a tree that I bought this past Tuesday from The Flower Market and worked this past Sunday with Bjorn. I believe this is a Randy Knight / Walter Pall collected / distributed tree that originally ended up at Hidden Gardens in Chicago and then made its way to MI. Kurt Smith from The Flower...

    Chunky San Jose

    Picked this guy up last night for $32.95. Originally marked at $98. I have a good relationship with my nursery owner. I buy a ton of his stock and he gives me really good deals. Here's the progression so far. From topiary to pre-bonsai in a day. If it survives (I feel pretty good about it)...

    First Beginner Class - Willow Leaf Ficus

Hopefully there is room for some beginner pics here :) I know the branch selection isn't perfect but I'll eventually remove at least one existing lower branch, I just need to see where I get buds to determine what I want to keep.

    My first set of pots... ever. BonsaiVision and a Tokoname from eBay.

    I finally figured how to easily upload pictures to this site. I got my order from BonsaiVision last night. The first 5 are from BV and the last one I picked up on eBay. I'm pretty excited about them, they all look and feel great in person :D

    Can we link to pic albums on BNUT?

    I'm used to making albums on IMGUR. I see most people upload pics and attach them to posts here. Is it OK to link to outside picture albums?
