I decided that the public likes things gawdy, the more the better. I decided that I would use a stone, everyone like rocks right. Then I decided I would throw in some grasses, maybe some blueye grass, and some mondo grass and moss...

I completle agree with you on this. This is the mindset of the American public and the reason why we get such gawdy bonsai for sale. That is what they want. Ive seen really nice material just sit there. But If you put a rock ,some mondo and a little wire, it will fly off the shelf. I dont get it , but thats the truth.
