Hello! My real name is actually Aubrey(such a creative screen name
), and I am 16 years old. I have been somewhat interested in bonsai for about 3 1/2 years, and extremely interested for about a year now. One of my favorite aspects of bonsai is collecting as many different types of tree species as I can and learning, through trial and error, their individual care requirements. This of course leaves me with at least 25-30 trees at a time, indoors and out, but they are never too much for me too handle, since I take my school classes at home. Some trees in my collection are:
Pachira
Pineapple Guava
Dwarf Honeysuckle
Morris Midget Boxwood
Brush Cherry
Many types of Ficus and Schefflera
Moujean Teas
Mt. Fuji Serissa
Barbados Cherry
Some type of Juniper
Ginkgo Biloba
Hibiscus
Chinese Elm
Japanese Green Maple
Some collected trunk-forming weed-ish things (great mame)
Some of my other interests are: animals! I'm a bit of an animal fanatic, particularly things like the reptiles and fish. I have approximately as many animals as I do trees, and have little trouble caring for them as well. For instance, my newest addition is a beautiful blue-tongued skink, which are somewhat rare as pets. Lastly, the other major love in my life is my ballroom dancing. I dance for 2-3 hours a day 6 days a week, and I travel to different states to compete a few times a year, and perform at my studio a few times a year. I plan for this to be my career, instructing and competing professionally. I would also love to go to Japan someday.
So, this is a little extra information about myself, actually quite a bit. The only thing I seem to have left out is the fact that I'm a girl(important to say, since my name is a boy's name. )
