A memorial bonsai...
Greetings bonsai friends...
I wanted to share a bonsai I did today. I am not really looking for critiques of the tree. I know there are probably a good many things I could do better with it. But in truth it's point in being done today was more to soothe my soul than anything. I lost my Grandmother this morning, and it seemed for me the only way to address it in my heart beyond the grief, was to remember her in the one thing I love most....my trees. I didn't do any wiring on it and it needs a bit of a trim up, but I told my friends who know what happened today that I would post the tree... It is a european larch, with a pot by our own Dale Cochoy. I know you'll all be kind... and for those who have been so supportive to me today, I thank you and love you all very much.

When I die, my soul might soar to heaven a little faster knowing that someone had paid me such a tribute as the one you've given your grandmother.
I hope this tree will alway recall the love and special times you shared together.

Ms. Vic,
Very befitting...This tree may never be considered a 'world class' bonsai, although none of us know that for sure...It will always be 'special' to you, and this is what is most important...I think you have made a very wise decision to start a 'memorial tree', and I have no doubt this tree will always be a favorite...My condolences on your loss, and you and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers... Thanks for sharing your sorrows and your joys... Regards Behr

YOU CAN NOT RUSH TIME
|
You now have another memory of your grandmother. Whenever you look or work on your tree you will have thoughts and a smile will surely come to your face.
May your tree grow and may your thoughts be happy. Surely your love for your grandmother will never leeave. Jay

Vic,
I keep a dracena that belonged to my late grandmother for 3 years now. I could have taken her tv,or some jewelry etc.. to remember her by but she had that raggedy old house plant for nearly my entire life.Having a plant that is associated with a friend or loved one is a wonderful thing,when I go I would like to be remembered through a tree.Best wishes to you Vic.

Vic,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your Grandmother. I have also found some comfort in making commemorative bonsai. Trees have a kind of permanence that lends them to such things. I have a cedar elm that I collected with my son, brother and father one fall from my parent's place in Texas one bright autumn day. It is a truly ugly tree , but it's one of my favorites as it has great meaning for me.Your tree is a beautiful tribute to your Grandmother by the way. It is a very nice bonsai in and of itself. |
