Been a while so I thought I'd start a new thread because I'm too lazy to look for my old one. I'll give a bit more details here than I would on the Book of Faces.
Bonsai Monday. A pair of Chinese elms... Leaving dormancy. Because you can never have too many "yer tree is ded..." comments....
Pots are production. Chinese bowl for accent. Snowflakes? Cherry blossoms?
"Greta". Just. Because.
I repotted a ton of the elm roots that I have been accumulating. Some of them are going to make interesting penjing/literati trees. I rarely even take branch cuttings anymore- these are probably a few cycles old- 2 or 3 years in a pot with other root cuttings then grown out another year or three in separate pots. Sometimes they might have even gotten watered and fertilized. Lot more action with roots cuttings with less effort. On to build some ramification on these. Apologies for the ratty sphagnum I threw on top on the way out this morning- need to keep the soil top moist in my air conditioned office. No time for chopping and sifting!
