New term: "Bumsai"

[HorseloverFat]

Furthermore, do windfall seedlings in a “mountainscape” planting count as an “-adori” of any sort, if they are FROM the trees WITHIN the planting?


My thought is: Yes!.. but you need a tiny shovel.

 

[HorseloverFat]

Deplorable...

Despicable...

bunch of bums advocating pot use...

...ain’t ya’ll seen “Reefer Madness”?

Hmm… Like Japanese maple, but cuttings can be smoked?! Yeah, that’s a happy guy in that potting shed!

OR it’s his only means of coping with the bum-sai among his bonsai ?

 

[ShadyStump]

So, in practical usage, a person using bonsai as a coping mechanism when they're down would be practicing bumsai?

…
I don’t think one practices bumsai, I think bumsai happen. Even to good people. Maybe especially to good people who can’t do the “eh, if it dies, it dies” shrug. You go out one morning and — there it is: your Worry In A Pot, putting on a fresh crop of drama.
@Mike Corazzi am I close?

Well, how would you use bumsai in a sentence?

 

[HorseloverFat]

My Bumsai has been itchy.
(Sentence 1)

 

[HorseloverFat]

These are my Bonsai trees, but THOSE on that bench.. those are my “bumsai”.

(Sentence 2)

 

[HorseloverFat]

Practicing “bumsai” would be like a “self-fulfilling prophecy” to produce sad trees...

That’s a bummer.

Or ANY of ours, for that matter.

Drat. And me too tired to tie it all up in a bow…

I’d threaten you with the thought of my sparkling witty sentence using all of the foregoing silliness faithfully, but tomorrow will be too late.

Goodbye, cruel word…

I came here expecting pictures of ficus roots that resembled the human posterior....

 

[Forsoothe!]

That's quite a virt!
