Incoming Bougie

[Carol 83]

I don't frequent e-bay, but it's winter, and I was bored. I placed the minimum bid on this bougie from Wigert's, just for kicks. And to my surprise, it will be heading my way in the spring. Too cold to risk shipping a tropical, so they will keep it there, until it's safe to send.

Awesome tree @Carol 83 I need to make my self a nice over wintering set up in the house with lights and a humidifier so I can get some nice flowering trops. I've had a handful of sad ficus that drop leaves and defoliate at the drop of a dime for the past handful of years. Kinda boring.

@Carol 83 ...yup, you have grown in your confidence to keep bonsai alive...and wet your taste buds on higher end material. Congrats! That tree is a dream!

Thank you Darlene. I have grown in confidence, due to the patient and helpful advice/knowledge I've received and put into practice from those here.

Should look killer with those red flowers

The roots and that first branch should look awesome close to that torn lip. Just slightly off center

Just got notification that it shipped!!! It's been a LONGGGG winter. There may be a few extras hitching a ride with it.

So it came today, and it's much nicer than I even imagined!
