Looks good! Love the glaze on that pot

Gorgeous! I thought the last pic was a trick... they look like bougie flowers at first glance. :D

I got a beautiful hornbeam and a maple for carving over at Nature's Way, but this awesome pom came from Bob Pressler in Cali. I barely got it out of the box by myself. LOL And as for the Pork Slap - I normally try to get PA beers, but I sent my friend and boyfriend out two Sundays ago... and...

The 4000 has variable speed and comes with some bits. I just have to find an add-on set that would be good. Maybe this? http://www.amazon.com/Routing-Router-Rotary-Engraving-Working/dp/B00LPHDZAE For the price, I think it's worth a try. Like I said, I was already thinking about upgrading...

Well that's good to know. I have a cordless dremel, but I have been thinking about getting the 4000, just for around the house things. You think that would work here? I'd also been debating about the Metabo 710 plus.

You guys are right, I'm sure. I am gonna need better power tools for this kind of project anyway. This will give me time to research and decide what would be best to buy!

I recently received this Pom Stump, and it ended up being larger than I expected. A suggestion was made to just let the branches grow for now to thicken up, which isn't a problem. It's going to be a major carving project and I'm not sure where to get started, so bonhe suggested posting it...

Ok I will!!!

Thanks for sharing all your poms. I just bought a huge stump... Much larger than I expected, and I'm not really sure where to go with it yet. This gives me great inspiration!

Just an update, in case anyone finds themself in the same boat someday. The tree arrived dormant, and was kept in the basement walkout for several weeks, with protection in case of mice. One the daytime temps increased, I did the two step for awhile. Temps have been reasonable at night...

I'll be there! Really excited about attending :)

I think the cleanup and new pot look really good!

Love the little flowers. I have a chickasaw plum coming to me soon, and am really looking forward to working with it.

This is great! I just bought a red chojubai, and I'm already daydreaming about it being potted nicely, so this gives me some inspiration!

The flowers still haven't opened, but the bracts are pretty fully developed now. Here's a new pic, turned toward what I am thinking will be the new front, eventually. Disregard the not-so-awesome wiring. Bougies are a real PITA when it comes to wires. I love the shade of pink on these...

There are tons of more experienced people here who can talk about good species for your area, but as far as seeds vs cuttings - I personally think that you should get the more developed material, so in this case, cuttings. Others may disagree, but I am not known for my patience, so the thought...

I have a boxwood indoors this winter under an LED bulb (100W equivalent) with a fixture like yours. Since the bulb doesn't get too hot, I have it only about 4" from the leaves, and the tree is pushing new growth for me. You have some sunlight (I don't), so it may not be necessary to move the...

Now the bracts are more developed and I can see tiny flower buds. The suspense is killing me. IMG_3918 by Sarsonator posted Feb 7, 2015 at 3:43 PM In other news, I have a couple tiny flowers on my bahama berry, and several buds on my grewia as well.

Hi there, I have a fairly new bougie also, and I was advised when I bought it that they like to be kept fairly dry, so I have used a piece of bamboo skewer to check for water, and I only water when the stick is dry. I'm wondering if the bougie may have dropped leaves due to overwatering...

Very nice. I gotta learn to make virts, as they really help visualize potential. I ordered an omoi no mama from Evergreen Gardenworks, which will ship next month. I'm pretty excited about it!

Absolutely correct, this is a pink pixie that I snagged at Meehan's a little while back. I am really excited to see the full bracts and the teensy little flowers. Won't be long now! On a side note - anyone who needs a break from winter would do well to check out Meehan's Miniatures on a...

I have a severe case of cabin fever this year, as I hate to go out in the cold, yet am getting restless from being indoors. But last week, my bougie bonsai started to push bracts and I could not be more excited! I had bougie's in Florida (not as bonsai) and these not only perk up my winter...

Dang it! I'm bummed, but I really appreciate you guys giving me the heads up. PA mice are total jerks and I live in an old house, so I see them occasionally, mainly in the late autumn and in the spring. I didn't know they were so keen on tree bark. I haven't had much success with spring...

An update: The tree was dormant on arrival, as in no leaf activity. Most of the flowers were gone, but there was actually one that still looked quite lovely, as well as 3 unopened buds. Last night at dinner, I had a little revelation. My basement seemed too warm, and I worried that the...
