A top-down view of the solitary flower my Serissa produced. I like to think it was a 'thankyou for rescuing me' bloom!

My very purse-friendly Chinese Elm. A bargain at ?5- and from an actual bonsai nursery! Hopefully it'll take to hokidachi/ broom style.

My poor traumatised Serissa- hopefully it will become a beautiful moyogi style one day!

A cotoneaster I'm hoping to get into a moyogi/ informal upright style.

1. Rosewood display stand. 2. Bamboo display stand. 3. Nice rosewood or other lovely wood box to keep tools clean and safe in. 4. Figures/bridges/animals etc for making a little landscape. 5. A nice suiseke. I've seen some for about £60 on eBay! (I hope my mum looks over my shoulder and...
