    long legged beauty.

    Or.. not so much ;) haha I've been looking around the web for a few weeks researching the how's and what's of my jade I got last summer. It wasn't happy in the room with a western window, and dropped quite a few of its leaves. And the remaining ones were starting to go soft. So, I moved it to...

    I sure have been active in the tea house lately... But! I have recently come into the ownership of quite a beautiful orchid! I've been reading up on it the past few days and have learned quite a bit. I've already ordered a better plastic pot for it to go in. As the one that's holding all the...

    Little Chinese elm

    while picking up my quince the other week, I found this Chinese elm ( or so labeled by my nursery ). It wasn't selling, so I got it pretty cheap, and figured why the heck not. So I bought it.

    Making a J. Maple bonsai?

    So, new to this whole bonsai thing, I know bonsai are made from larger tree/bushes. One would cut a tree back until the proper size for a bonsai. (And hope new shoots would spring from the cut off area area correct?) I went to my local nursery and they had some Japanese maples, and I thought...

I decided to go from the least attention needing plant to one of the most. :) I just bought an azalea tree in a mall bonsai art gallery. I'm not convinced this may be the healthiest tree, but I'm going...
