Reluctant Bonsai ??????

Wonderful Bonsai Steve. Love it very much!

Greetz, Christien.

Thank you it has been a learning curve as it not the usual Bonsai material i would choose but it was too good to pass up.

You did a great work , Steve!

Danni its always good to keep life going than bin it even though it was a leap of faith as i had no idea how this would turn out at all . it all looks quite well makes me kick my seld the purple one went to the bin..................

Well done Steve, you certainly have green fingers. Nice shot.

John yes both Clara and myself are very green fingered our yard is bursting with plants in pots but this is satisfying as we have flowers and a plant i had no idea where i would end up. not bad for two years and more flowers to come out...

Congratulations, you did well against the odds!

Gudrun it was not so much against the odds i put all my training into this i knew it would survive or i would not have started. to the nursery man it was way out of his field of thinking i treated it just the same as i would any normal bonsai. the unknown was it not the usual tree you would see but here it inside our house in all its glory.

Very well rescued! It's a delightful and very grateful little tree!

Andy this was a project i started in the dark its a way left of center subject to bonsai but i did have full faith in what i did to plants and keep them alive at the start. to know i had a head start how it would react was the big unknown to the pruning and shaping . this is a very vigorous plant but its doing just fine as you can well see in its confined space and growth.

Great job, both with nurturing this tree and capturing it on memory stick!

Cheers, Herb

Herb not bad for a tree i had no idea about just my own experience with other plants i look forward to more years. Just in side our front door only space i could use to get a clean photo. many thanks.
