River's Edge
Imperial Masterpiece
I like this thought. would add ( and properly cared for) . But I suppose one begets the other if the amount of time is available for the number of trees involved. ( reminder to reduce the number of trees at some point)
I have yet to purchase a finished or refined tree from another source. ( exception those that were declining and need to be brought back) Not sure if that will happen as I enjoy the process as well. Fully appreciate the outcome and respect the talent of those who can produce true Bonsai with artistic flair. I suppose it is possible that at some point I might purchase something that simply blows my socks off! But then the personal accomplishment would be missing so I am not so sure.
Makes me think of the car show people who have someone deliver their car to the show, they arrive to pick up an award and then someone takes their show car back to the garage until the next show. Not so easy in bonsai because it changes while stored in the garage, so their is that aspect to consider.
Serious philosophical wandering, time for a rest.
