malhomme

I like the energy created by the question, but it seem to me unnecessary to parse horticulture and art from bonsai. If we are discussing bonsai, it seems to me that neither is complete without the other. Neither-- alone-- is bonsai. Bonsai is art. Not Horticulture or design. No this or that. Just bonsai. But then I observe that my eye is better than my thumb. And I'm back in this whole mess again!
