Picea glehnii seedlings from International Bonsai. These could be my final trees for the year.
The ground has been frozen here for 6 weeks already, so no heeling in for these little guys. I removed the plastic wrap and put them in a plastic tub with a bunch of pine shavings for mulch. They can be on my porch for now.

Branching out
Seedling
This is an early Christmas present. Bought a Ponderosa Pine from Andy Smith.. I really liked the trunk and base, but still brainstorming on the branching. Nervously excited about developing the tree, but know I'll have to spend the next couple of years getting it happy and hoping for some good back-budding! If you have any suggestions or thoughts on development, they are all appreciated!

On Friday I should receive the older (2005 era) Kinbon book on Japanese maple and beech, along with the January issue of Bonsai Sekai

Flamboyant is going to be a challenge in your climate. Try to make it a big bonsai as the leaves are difficult to reduce. Are you aware they almost never bloom in pots? Stunning tropical on the streets of Florida and Rio, but not the easiest one for bonsai.Mame Parrots Beak and Delonix Regia (flamboyant). I shouldn't have, but I had a weak moment.View attachment 343723View attachment 343724View attachment 343725
I admire your taste for challenges though!

PB, me, too...
I mostly just wanted the Parrot's Beak and it was a cheap two-fer. We saw some stunning Flamboyant trees when we were in the Bahamas a few years back.
I have begun to really love these, they are such vigorous growers, even inside for the winter.

That is a couple of little cuties. I love my parrots beak. They love artificial light and grow like little weeds. They are super easy to root from cuttings. You can root them in water.Mame Parrots Beak and Delonix Regia (flamboyant). I shouldn't have, but I had a weak moment.
Every blue glazed pot makes me think of you.

Is this plant a Parrot's beak Gmelina philippensis ?
Does it flower as bonsai? Nice interesting species
Lol, not going to lie, the pots they were in may have influenced me a bit.
Good to know how easy they root, definitely going to give it a shot.Yes, that's it. I've seen pictures of them blooming as bonsai, can't prove it by mine.
If there were purple pots out there, I wouldn't like the blue as much. But I do have a red one from @sorce that I love, so maybe I'm branching out?

Besides the two trees I already had bought, I was asked a week later whether I was interested enough in a large zelkova forest to pick that up too for a small price. An offer I could not refuse. But the forest was way to big to fit my car in one piece, so we split it into 2 sections:

Shared earlier I had gotten a spider azalea. Well it threw a sporadic single bloom. Will be fun seeing how this behaves for our hobby.
