Schools of Bonsai: Educate Me!
I understand that there are some arguments being hatched out on other threads, and I have no reason to join them. However, I did read the post that mentions various schools of bonsai. It piqued my interest—not to antagonize anyone—but truly, as a beginner in bonsai, I would like to know more.
And I’m not the only one:

Is anyone feeling calm and friendly?
I am at a point where I am trying to understand everything that I read, see, and hear about bonsai. And I just cannot let the opportunity pass to ask someone, anyone, to tell me a bit more about the “schools of bonsai”. Honestly, I am still so green that I lack the basic understanding even of the difference between “bonsai” and “penjing”. (Yes, I know, Japan/China… but I know there is more to it than that).
Is anyone willing to educate me (and perhaps some other interested forum members) about this subject? Or will this stay “over my head”?
Much obliged (and interested!),
Jennifer
