You all are too much fun...
You so totally got the point. Thats what I love about this place. I was even content if no one said a thing about the lil darlins... I just wanted to share a bit of honesty and self discovery in my bonsai pursuit. And if it amused someone, or made them think twice about something in their own collection, well so much the better. Most of us have those trees we scratch our heads over, especially in the begining. But what a wonderous experiance it all ends up being. Especially with getting to do so with such people as yourselves.
I am going to let the little juniper grow up a bit... but I thought literati to an extent when I saw it also.

As I said before... it's now on a path to become something good. And within that... I am content.
Mike... you rock! I have a new tree comin up I bet you will only be too happy to play with virtuals wise... It's going to be magnificent. I may even venture to say that baring the 20 years or so that it will take my JWP to become the jewel I know it will be, it may well be the crown jewel of my collection.
I'll be sharing it on Sunday (cuz thats when I am picking it up... it needs a truck to bring it home)... oh the anticipation. lol
Be well...
Yours in bonsai and with kindest regard,
