  • I purchased two plants from the nursery and today they begin the long journey of becoming a bonsai. The two trees are a French Lilac and a Cotoneaster. In part one, I'm working on the Lilac.

    exciting to see the sequoias! for a moment i was worried they wouldn't sprout. i guess that's the problem with seeds...you always think they won't grow. until they *all* do. XD

    • @katyb2793

      That's what I thought too... now I have roughly 25 laurels, 40 maples and 40 liquid ambers to get rid of 😂 last year were wattles, peaches and laurels..

    🌳The Lilac should be a stunner one day. You could see the joy and love in your eyes when you were finished pruning. The love you have for the plants and animals keep us coming back for more. With that hair do and attitude, you could be the next Bob Ross or Mr. Roger's. 🦆

    Cute little black Quakers! I remember Robin, and Sunflower the squirrel. Ha ha! . . . I go to my local garden shop/nursery and peruse their 'clearance' section for cheap material. I guess about half of it has survived. The plants often have problems when purchased, and then I stress them further with Bonsai procedures, but not much money lost, hopefully, and some successes to show.
