Bonsai

Over the summer of 2012 I was introduced to the beautiful art of bonsai by a very close friend of mine. She has regained inspiration and an increased passion for her hobby, and is encouraged by her bonsai-trainees who are constantly seeking knowledge and advice from her. I have such an admiration for this art form, and am confident it is something I will continue to pursue for the rest of my life. Within the year I have been exposed, my collection of plants has grown to nearly twenty. This blog serves as inspiration for our bonsai group, as well as a place for us to document and share our progress. Thank you so much for your likes, reblogs, and comments; your feedback is greatly encouraging and appreciated!

If I ever found a nursery like this I would lose my mind. And all of my money.

Had a little weekend trip up to Philbrook a while ago. I couldn't resist pulling up this little guy. I bought him a pot today, can't wait to get him all settled!

I found this tree while out hiking a while ago. I really really wanted to take it home with me, but alas, it was growing out of a large boulder. :(

Under construction, but full of potential.That upper part of the trunk is making me dizzy. I like it!
