Started reporting today. Today was a day of just potting stuff that will be for sale next weekend at a joint meeting of three clubs. Fresno bonsai, shohin study group, and bonsai basic group. Hopefully people bring money to this meeting. I will shoot out an email to the groups.

Any one remember Frankenstein? It finally made it to a pot this year. Three small tridents grafted together. There’s a thread here somewhere, maybe in smokes backyard? Anyway here it is so far.
