I spent my summer hanging out with the Bonsai Guy (Christo) and learning everything I could; trimming, wiring, rules, watering, species, sales, road trips; we did it all. Now, months later, summer is gone and I have a much larger collection that I can't seem to keep track of. To make room for my new friends I broke up with my household plants (with the exception of some) and started living in a forest of bonsai trees; I haven't regretted it. There have been evenings where I've stayed up so late working on a tree that I thought my eyes would bleed, resulting in my love being angry at me for being such a grump in the morning. :x
I must admit that if I end up in China, it would be surreal to be in the birthplace my hobby. I would compare the joy of adding a new tree to my collection to buying a new purse or pair of shoes that you've longed for and that finally went on sale.
The pics in this post aren't from my collection, just amazing trees that make me drool. Now that I have a better camera, I will take some pictures of my trees and post them soon before I leave. x0)
postscript: If you're looking for a new best friend or something to grow old with, contact Christo. His collection stretches over 500 trees and over 50 different species (and growing)!
