I got one of Nao’s 14” ovals, a few smaller pots from Vicki and a couple of jitas from Austin. Wrapped them all in paper and was able to fit them in two stacks in my 22” roll on bag. Loved your pots, by the way - next time.🙂

Seeing yours and others’ photos of the trees late in the day, I regret that I was never at the venue at that time to view the trees - really a ‘golden hour’ effect.

Yeah, I was just joking about my photo of the long-ass line to get in😁

It seemed quite well attended

She participated in a ceramics discussion with three other ceramicists today at PBE and really did not sound like she was going to stop making bonsai pots.

Some historically significant trees here, like the Daimyo Oak, gifted by Japan to the US envoy to China during the Lincoln administration, and the Mas Imazumi Black Pine.

You like to experiment. I say clear acrylic pot, no substrate, bare root with only hydroponic solution!😉

Yesterday, I did shoot selection and needle plucking, and I removed a couple of branches which would lead to structural flaws. I also re-positioned some branches, as well as the apex.

Thanks to an unplanned stay in NYC last weekend, due to a missed airline connection, I was able to walk the High Line and found the Winter Hazels quite charming (click on the thumbnails for better detail).

If your wife hasn’t said anything yet, I’d say you’re still good 👍

That and the smell must make you a chick magnet!
