Easily one of the nicest lilac bonsai I've seen! New pot is also an immense upgrade, very captivating.

What is this small leaf variety? I have a small Nadezhda Hope lilac but the foliage is larger than I’d like.

Garbage-bin-trunk so no. Too many to choose from once you start digging!

The foliage reduces in size over time in pot & improved ramnifcation

Lovely, and I like the cuts and results created in the apex at top left of the tree. Tree responded nicely and healed over well it seems. Love the overall apex shape and composition you’ve created.

Thinking this might be an improvement.
Will have to bring my scissors next time I walk up to the tree and see whether it works, branch-wise..

I still have one for you @Carol 83 Miss Kim dwarf. I feared the cutting was weak but it's fine now. Shoot me your address if you still want it. My MoMo from you survived winter well. Thanks again.

Miss Kim is a popular one.

I think about the peak of flowering. And with the little branch in the top removed.

Fabulous work on the Lilac! Mighty fine indeed.

I think I’d be an oddball and reach for a pot of contrasting color. My first impression was a yellow or orange pot. The contrast with the flowers would be mighty fine.

However…I really do like the pot shown in this photo you posted. It can work very well with flowers and without flowers. I like the rough, rugged appearance which picks up characteristics of the tree leaves, trunk and branches. Superior choice you made.

I like the rough, rugged appearance

Note.. It is a perfectly smooth pot; It is all in the glaze!

Excellent glazing and color utilization in my opinion.
