I'm lucky, my lady and I garden together, and she generally smiles on (at) my bonsai antics.
So long as I'm only spending my (not our) money, I only get an eye roll when I come home with multiple trees at once, so little and often is the key ;-)

My wife has no favorites.
She thinks digging up a tree,removing most of the soil and roots,putting it into floor dry and lava and it live is something just short of miraculous.
She does love Tamarack foliage though.

I'm still here. Yes my wife has trees also.
She recently saw Don was back to selling some and asked if I would get her a flowering Cherry... Don has none, but I will keep looking. I have some small Barbados Cherry, she wants instant gratification

Lucky you! She may be in charge of the "growing" but you've done a fine job of "planting".
