Bonsai Beginnings

Bonsai Beginnings

The ingredients for my bonsai empire are coming together.   I’ve had visions of a more tropical feeling bonsai and have been growing lemon trees for the last year.  Having reached the point for transplant I wanted to place them into a more artistic/growing container.  Keeping my eyes open for interested vessels I came across two coconuts and some driftwood that will be the first new forms.   

I’m hoping to find some larger shells, conch or clam, perhaps some other distinctive beach refuse, (A whale bone wold be the most awesome) for the remaining lemon trees.

Time to start the next round sprouting… cherry trees I think.
