Nice! Mine was blooming when I chopped it down in 1999 and it has yet to bloom since. One day again, maybe...

Thanks. I can empathise about the lack of flowers - I collected this smaller one in 2003, and this year is the first time it has flowered since then. So don't give up hope

Great movement in that trunk.

Southern hackberry... gonna get some thinning and wire today.

Hey, cool!!! Looks like I will have a couple "bloomers" on this one!

My chojubai white is still popping out the blooms. More are on the way. I took this picture right after a mid-Spring cleanup, including minor pruning, wiring, and spent blossom removal. Removing old flowers is important because this act makes for new flowers.

Easily one of the trees that got me hooked on bonsai when I saw it for the first time 5 or so years ago. The vertical lines are so dam cool.

Reworked this San Jose juniper today. I have a thread for it and don’t know if I’ll ever love the tree, but im happy with what it’s come from. Needs more detail wire and some maturity in its branching to point out just a few issues.

I think it's headed in a good direction. Has a lot of character.

A chopped maple from last year. On its 2nd spring. idk where the crazy saturation came from.

Satsuki Azalea 'kakuo'

 

[ihaveaspaceship]

Some light pruning and a bit of wire for my little nerifolia. about 7" tall from top of the pot.


Fuzzy growth from my New Zealand Christmas tree (metrosideros).
They are a bit feisty with root work from my exp. but should be a nice plant to work with for bonsai. No flowers yet from the 3 I have. Too stressed out im sure
