Hey.... did I see you in Canada last week   Believe me when I say that I share what I am doing, because it is too important to be kept for myself alone. I have to extend the generosity that is being given to me, or I would feel ungrateful. And if one needs a bonsai family... this is not a bad one to have.  Kindest regards, Victrinia |

Rockm, how did you come to know this fellow who helped you out? Did he live nearby?
Ive seen alot of your posts and have come to respect your knowledge. I would be glad to come help you with your bald cypress but by mapquest your still 5-6 hours away from me - and your one of the closer bonsaitalk members I have noticed! I read - ALOT.... I have books, I live on the internet, etc but theres no substitute for experience - someone who has been there done that. For that matter, alot of the "principles" vary out there depending on who you typed the web page or book. Even so - people live very busy lives, outside of my family, work and house chores/improvements - theres little time for second jobs etc. So as I continue to grow trunks, chop them, and style some of the older stock I have, its always a little bit leap of faith that i have read and understood certain principles. If I didnt get them right, its just back to the drawing board and a little deeper into my wallet. [img]images/btsmilies/grin.gif[/img] |

Vic I have noticed your posts too. Your one of the more enthusiastic folks I have seen on here - always a good thing.
No that wasnt me in Canada - I never make it out of NC unless its on business. But I am a huge Star Wars fan (and all around geek) Folks love it when I forget to turn my mobile off and the imperial march goes off in a meeting. (im actually a little surprised by the number of people who catch what that tune is!) |

I am asked all the time, by people who arn't into bonsai.... "Does he pay you ?"I tell them that I am being given what would be a vastly expensive bonsai education for my efforts. I explain what conventions cost, and one on one instruction with noted masters costs... then their eyes get a little wide. And they say... "ohhhhhhhhhhhh......." PLUS... it's saving me money. I'm getting my bonsai addiction met to such a degree, I havn't bought a single tree this season. Mostly I am waiting to be able to buy some stock that Dan will have available this summer... collected Mountain Hemlocks from north Vancouver Island in Canada. |

(grin) Dan wants me to bring in my huge Hinoki.... so we can work on it together. This has some people terrified. I am perfectly and completely thrilled about the thought. I potted it this spring though... and it hasn't grabbed the pot yet, as big as it is, I don't want it traveling in the back of my truck just yet... it would be a sail...  But I hope, later this summer, to show that big girl to him and see what we come up with. Your friend in all things, Victrinia PS... and you best know that if I was in Ohio... I'd be living in your backyard. |
