I enjoyed doing it. If I need approval from the masses, it loses a little of the appeal and fun of the experience.
I have what is considered traditional stock and enjoy working with it. I've had very nice trees in the past. Guess as I get older the fine white lines so many people like to draw look a little gray to me.
This is a Crassuala ovata "Hummels Sunset." Last time I posted a photo of this plant on a bonsai forum, I was taken to task for using a traditional pine type style in training it. Might have been nice for those individuals instead to maybe have noticed it might have taken a little effort to get that pine style on a succulent of this size. Plant is about 30 inches tall.
You guys can go with both barrels cause I sleep good at night these days.
