bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - How long have you been bonsaing?

This will sound odd, but in 1976 I had a dream that I was holding a "real tree" in my hand. It was so vivid that I mentioned it to my girlfriend. A few days latter, we were driving to Orlando and there on a bill-board, was a hand holding a potted tree! Now I had rarely driven that road and didn't recall seeing the sign, but I had to follow it's directions. At the end of the road was a small nursery and an older lady who was willing to talk about her art. I bought a tree and some lessons. That tree and several others were stolen, but I have been growing bonsai ever since.
