yes, this is an interesting place. I have bought such strange little gems as coffee, and baobab, just for the fun of it, along with punica and citrus...I like the teenier bonsai and just the thought of miniaturizing trees not so much as a cultural thing (Japanese and/or Chinese). I even have a found and potted manzanita from the coastal area of our state, that has beautiful red bark and smallish round leaves...I guess my interest runs to just enjoying variety and using the miniaturization and potting techniques of the bonsai art to have my own 'arboretum' whereas I couldn't really do that any other way, since I don't own acres...anyone with me? I'm not a purist, to put it simply....will y'all still talk to me, or am I too loose with my 'art'?
