    Moss

    If you're interested in moss, I would definitely suggest Moss Gardening, by George Schenk. It's packed with information, and for a book on what many would consider a less than riveting subject, is surprisingly compelling. It's a great read...

    Cleaning up a procumbens

    This has been one of my favorite trees ever since I stumbled across it in a thread a while back. It looks so incredibly natural!

    thinking about a new direction for this JBP

    If it were mine I would remove the crown and go with the very dramatic horizontal movement:

    Well, someone must have had a bad day. . .

    When wires dig in TOO DEEP?!

    Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of intentionally allowing trees to grow over their wires?

    Pen/paper Bonsai. . . a collection of sketches

    And here they are all together. . . they aren't really in scale, but I thought it would be fun to put them all on a stand like real trees.

    Pen/paper Bonsai. . . a collection of sketches

    I wasn't sure where a thread like this would go, so I put it in miscellaneous/other as it seemed most appropriate. It came up on another thread how practicing bonsai is somewhat difficult to keep up with being a college student. As many enthusiastic beginners do, I have made a few attempts at...

    Pink Pixie stump

    I think I actually have a doodle of one of your monster boxwoods lying around here somewhere. . . it's from a little while back I think, so it may or may not be quite relevant anymore depending on how you've developed the tree.

    Pink Pixie stump

    No offense taken at all! I appreciate it. Being in school leaves me with limited options when it comes to growing bonsai, so I try to compensate by "working" with trees with pencil and paper in the hopes that once I finally find myself able to work with some real trees I'll have trained my eye...

    Pink Pixie stump

    I think you could grow that branch on the top left of the main trunk out something like this:

    Spring is coming?

    It's FINALLY starting to look like spring here in Wilmington. Should break into the 80's over the weekend. That means beach time!

    Mallsai Chinese elm into two shohins

    I love the pot choices for both trees, but especially the first one!

    Worst spring in memory!

    Don't be too jealous of us down here below the mason dixon. It's still pretty miserable here as well. It should be consistently in the low to mid 80's by now, yet it's barely managed to hover around 70 for the past few weeks.

    Dallas Bonsai Garden Contest

    I agree with october, I feel like some people are making it out to be more competitive that it should be. It's not the bonsai Olympics, it's an informal contest on an internet forum for bragging rights and a bag of akadama, or whatever else DBG has in store. The point should be to have fun and...

    Couple more junipers

    The procumbens is one of my favorite trees on here. Nice job.
