Opted up rooted burgundy queen bougie cuttings from the mother plant reduction.
The thickest one had really nice radial roots, the mig thickness had long close up roots - set it up for exposed root maybe, the thinnest one I was going to toss, but did not have the heart...

Put together my new plant shelf for the weak of heart...

Been having a rough two weeks. Last week I went to setup a video call with a friend that lives out of state only to find out that she passed away while I was on my social media hiatus

Went camping this weekend with my family


While I was camping I found out one of my bonsai friends passed away. We had his celebration of life today at the Lynden Bonsai Collection. His wife brought some of his bonsai trees.

Haircut day for my juniper, it got a little out of hand, but I think I like where it's going.

For those of you that live in the northern tier, seeing the trees transition in fall is probably just ho hum for you, but for us southern guys and gals, to see it happen is still a thing of beauty. I’ve been stuck here in northern Virginia for a month now with a broken leg with nothing to do but watch the trees from the back balcony start their change from growth to sleep. I’m amazed at how fast (compared to down south) it happens. I’m headed back to Florida this week, but almost want to stay a little longer to see all the color changes. There is a cherry tree right behind my daughter’s house that is already leafless for its winter sleep. Being partial to maples, I’ve been watching a large Acer Rubrum start its change to red. Guess I will never stop being amazed at how trees can live in one spot for hundreds of years, endure everything nature can throw at them and still keep going. Is a thing of beauty.

Got my new tropical tent set up, though I intend to get rid of about 1/3 of what I have here. Quality over quantity!

I potted up this crazy Ribes sp. that I dug. Really fascinating plant, hope I can identify it with the flower as there are a large number of the genus here in Washington.

Finally got the grow tent set back up. Cleaning it after the flood was a huge pain and I just left it disassembled in the basement for awhile. Now has a rubber mat under it to hopefully protect it from the moisture that loves to come up through the basement floor.

Went out to check on my trees after >4 inches of rain in the past few days and found that a Squirrel left me a present, a Horse Chestnut, in the top of one of my trees.

Black walnut?

 

[minkes]

Few years ago I bought this fir. It is grafted and had ugly inverse taper below graft. I tried to make two vertical cuts and wrapped it with moss to see if it helps somehow. If so I will do more cuts next season. Anyway, today I did second styling on this tree. First photo is as I bought it and second is from today.

I believe that is a horse chestnut, black walnut doesnt have the pokies, and don't have a pod that opens up.

Edit: just reallized he posted a black walnut in his tree and you were poking fun.

Photo tax, monarch butterfly that was on one of our rose bushes yesterday.

The original post pic had a black walnut with the caption of horse chestnut. I posted a pic of horse chestnut for comparison.

Yup!! It's a Black Walnut... My apologies, My wife has been calling it a Horse Chestnut for decades so I never really checked.

Worked the deadwood and cleaned the live vein on some Rocky Mountain Juniper yamadori I recently acquired.

Did a prune in this cypress forest today.
Looking forward to wiring it up later in the fall.

 

[pandacular]
