Picked this little feller up for $15 today. Got it for practice and because I can't help but buy stuff to fart around with until I get a better feel for design and wiring and such. No idea on the variety, only that he told me it was a Green Japanese Maple variety. I'll post updates as I work...

Picked this guy up for $5 today. It was growing out of the pot and I don't have anything big enough to pot it up in and I don't have the space to put it in the ground, so it'll likely have to stay in this pot for winter. (if it makes it) I am interested in being a bit aggressive with this...
