PatArizona Bonsai Master, in my mind Join Date: Feb-2005 Location: Back Home in Northern California Country: USA Posts: 1,795	Gooood Heavens!! “…just to damm easy!...” “…actually (N)ever saw the real thing...” “…it's pretty horrid!...” “…see a shrink?...” “…forlorn fax ficus…” I can't believe what I'm reading...after all…the pot DOES have a drain hole!? Doesn't that count for something...anything? And, think about the skill this "artist" must have...923,876 of these wonderful bonsai created, and they are all identical...can YOU do that? I can't. We should all go out and buy up every one of these bonsai we can find. Good grief! Can you imagine the disaster that would be created if Joe Public gets his hands on any of these...he wouldn't have the slightest idea how to care for them... An added feature...they cost $2.99 each! Well...I just had to get that off my chest...somebody had to do it! Pat __________________ BONSAI isn't about surviving in a storm, rather, how to dance in the rain. THE ONLY WAY: Always remember, and don't ever forget, that whatever you read here is not cast in concrete... the intent of any advice is to help. In no way should you feel that I’m saying that my way is the only way…heaven forbid! I've seen far too much of the "my way or the highway" attitude in bonsai as well as in other areas of life.
