Me, nope... just had to work, cleaning up the house and yard for the million plus people who showed up at our house for Easter dinner. Not at all religious... never have been... all about just spending time with family and friends! One thing around our house is that once you have 40 or more people crammed in are house, a dozen or so more is never noticed! Lol!

Anyhow... most of our guest spent time admiring the pool, well actually wishing they had brought a suit to go it... was hot! The koi in my pond, and of course the Bonsai!

Thought I would share... sorry pictures are so bad, are from my cell phone, which takes probably the worse photos of all time. Did I mention that my digital camera found the Koi interesting as well? Going to have to get a new one, seeing it is a little wet.

Large Bougie starting to fill in with flowers. Should look really spectacular in a couple of weeks, seeing this isn't even a quarter of the flower buds on the tree.

Beautiful Bougie!

It's been a 4 day excuse to repot for me; must have got 20 done so far. I'm off back out into the driving wind and rain later (to stand in my tiny greenhouse, I might add) to do yet more...but I can honestly say there is almost nothing I enjoy more.

Thanks for the reply!
Glad to hear you were able to get some work done! Keep up the good work!
Today is now finally my day to get some work done, took today off! As soon as I get finished cleaning up, I am getting on it!

Sweet bougie! Gonna explode with flowers. Plz don't forget to post pics!
Haven't had the spring rabbit visit here either, but the bonsai gods did bless me with nice spring weather. Dodged the terror storm forecasted for the Netherlands, got a bit wind and rain, but mostly nice sun. Tshirt and shorts weather!
Repotted a bit, prepped my claimed corner in the garden for the bonsai, made benches, started building a nice porch in the backyard with my dad, planned on a daiza cuz' I found me a new stone and even dug up some stuff today!
Now think of a solution to solve the 11am-sundown sun issue!
Phone camera quality still sucks balls, but better than nothing!

I saw that the weather was supposed to be really bad your way, glad to hear you missed it! They were saying in London, which I know is a bit of distance from you, they were saying it was going to be in the teens with gale force winds...

Ordered a new camera today from Amazon, so should be here in the next day or two. Will try and post update pictures when I get it and as the tree continues to flower.

As soon as the flowers and flower buds all open up, they are coming right off. Want to cut back hard, to try and get some more ramification and branches to pop.

Well got my new camera and it works rather well... bad part is that I smacked the crap out of my hand earlier this week and can't lift up the tree at the moment to move it over to a better area to take a photo... sorry!

Thought I would test out the camera, and take a photo and post it nonetheless... This tree still has some years to go, but definitely going to be a real show-stopper one day!
