G'day all...

It seems that there are some, somewhere out there, who still want to keep a juniper bonsai indoors...

Well...from my viewpoint, it just isn't worth the effort, or the cost. Why not simply get a ficus or a sheffferellla? They adapt much easier, although they are much happier if they get some outdoor time.

However...I HAVE A DREAM! I want to cultivate bonsai from a variety of climates...indoors...all under one roof...all in one room. I suddenly realized that the solution to this quandry is right up the road a piece, here in Southern Arizona...about 20 miles.

BIOSPHERE 2. It's all there...beach front...ocean...rain forest...hot, dry desert. And that's just for starters. B2 has the technical capability to create any climate you might want.

Didn't I just say a bit ago "it just isn't worth...the cost..."?

Well...I've changed my mind. There is, after all, room for several world class collections in B2.

I'm told that the owners just MIGHT...MIGHT, I say, MIGHT...entertain an offer if I walked in with $175 million...

Any backers?

That's where I woke up...
