So, I have been at bonsai for just about a year now and my club had its annual picinic and auction this past weekend. I didn't want to show up with nothing for the auction, so I brought one planter with two Larch that I had dug up this spring. They aren't giant, but at the moment they would be great for a group planting, or a couple seasons in the ground would do them good to thicken up.
Noone else brought any plant material that is suitable for bonsai. Other than a couple small plants that might be OK for the landscape, the Larch I brought were the only living things on the table. Other than that, a couple pots and figurines and such. Although I did fetch the highest bid ($10) woo-friggin-hoo. I would have rather kept them, but I was hoping to be able to aquire some new material while I was there.
Don't know if there is a point to my rant, but I feel like I got swindled pretty hard.
gas to get to collecting site- $40
lunch -$15
pot and soil -$5
getting taken for all your worth by the senior club members- priceless
(not to mention the effort and sweat put into collecting)
