Another Wife's Shimpaku

[grouper52]

Don't think I've posted it here before, so here it is. Bought a number of years ago from somewhere, never allowed to do single thing to it except trim.

This year however, I thought I would re-position some of the left-side branches a bit - got the first one guy-wired, my wife came by, sees the wire, evil eye flashes, voice hardens, "Well, you can leave it, but don't do any more."

"Yes ma'am."

LOL I could hear the same thing coming from mine! BTW, this looks so much like a juni in my dad's yard in Colorado that I really like it.

You have "another wife"?

See, I was gonna say it, but now I don't have to....

You're a brave man...to post both trees on the same forum...especially with at least one dremel/grinder using wife...



Sorry...I guess I was the third person about to make a joke on the title.

I like the tree though! This and the larch are great

I didn't even catch it for a while... what does that say about me??? Wait, don't answer that.

Anybody out there think a bonsai hobbyist ought to be limited to only one tree? Or one wife? Sheesh!

With Islam and Mormonism being much in the news these day, and bonsai originating in ancient China and all, you'd think folks would be more tolerant . . .

Throw tax deadline day in there and you have had a bad day.....


Your wife has a nice tree....just work on it when she ain't around...

 

[Dan W.]

I was simply concerned about your well being. Some wives aren't so...."tolerant"...lol

Bonsai on the other hand...I'm all about tree polygamy!
