Bonsai!

[Guest]

like water off a Starfish's back...

YOU CAN'T FIRE ME!

I AM THE BOSS!

I knew there was a reason I liked you...

I have a pair of these, but the other one is in ground waiting to be potted now. I have got it's pot, so I will be doing that soon.

They will flower the most brilliant reddish orange flowers soon!

I thought this would be a pic of your breasts, wondered why one was in the ground, who's pot you have, and why you're waiting to do it.....

There had better be a reason, or I'd be pissed.





These are Awesome trees to bonsai. They really take on the look of a mature spruce tree.


I will be buying better pots for them, but they'll be pricey because they'll have to be big.


Oh, and just so you all know, Bonsai doesn't mean miniture tree. It means something to the effect of making art from nature. There is no limit to the size of a bonsai. Many of the ones that are older are much over three feet tall..... up to 4 meters.

I will be showing off some of my favorites from around the world next.

This is it for mine, as of now. I am always adding to my collection.

*grabbing azalea as attempting to sneak out of thread*

*reluctantly hands bonsai back to its angry mother*

Awwww, but it would have gone so well with my red azaleas, they're lonely you know - they don't get along with the Ficus religiosa at all, it's so sad...

All of those have a wood sculpting technique called jin.

Root over rock.

*sneaks in with her bonsai* (which compares in no way to Starfishes)

5 years ago.. we were given two small jade leaves..

this one is let go to do as it pleases.. I have clipped it back when it grows to tall, but I root the clippings and shove them in the pot also. Everything you see in these pictures started as one single leaf.

The largest leaves on this one.. are 3 3/4 inches long.. it stands 13 inches tall (from dirt to top of plant)

 

[freakygirl]

here is it's twin sister.. kinda

also 5 years old.. started by one leaf..

her leaves are smaller.. only an inch long and she stands just a tad over 7 inches..

 

[freakygirl]

this is the two of them together..

 

[crysede]

I like'em freaky, the little guy's really cute! I have something of a soft spot for jades - but I must say they really don't work well as cascades, you have to fight them tooth and nail! lol I've given up on that and am letting my jade do the informal upright thing now.

Good. Heavens. These. Are. Beautiful.

Forget Porn pictures, I'm going in search of bonsai pics. Easily as sexy.
