Also... an elm mother/daughter...two trunk pair... Because...I'm curious about it. I also love elm...and I have a vision for it.

I see it planted on possibly an Erin tray I have off to the right. I think the glaze is a subtle compliment to the bark. *Now I've had the tray.

Well...I totally blundered there. I didn't intend to hit enter but come back and finish my thoughts.

The rabbit pots... are a nod to the time we here used to toss down the "PEACE POT" when threads got out of hand. Anyone remember it? Every time Mike Lane shares his wee bunny pots. I think of that period of time on B-Nut. So I decided to get a pot with a rabbit. That and that Mai Bonsai threw down an emoji...and he's a pot guy. Made it an easy sell.

The tree next to the pot I am pondering. Again an Erin. As I love his glazed.

I had fun cleaning the trunks of my junipers, so I got a few proper Kaneshin brushes for them after struggling with a random aluminum brush I had laying around. Also some fertilizer baskets cause I can’t find the rest of mine after my move.

Received 2 arakawa air layers from @Tidal Bonsai . Was a little worried as USPS moved the tree from out for delivery to arrived at San Antonio mid day Thursday. But showed as out for delivery again Friday mid day. They look very healthy and were moved into dappled shade probably for the reminder of the season. Don’t want to shock them too much with the Texas sun after coming from up north.
