my chlorisia just escaped a 24" box
it's GIGANTIC root that broke thru the bottom was unceremoniously executed by an axe at the nursery

tsk tsk tsk

now it has a real home with a caring person who will luv it in a way deserving of such prehistoric beauty
to get gigantic and outlast the pathetic 'civilization' that surrounds it

now if u'll excuse me,
i haf to bind the heds of several guvument officials
in the hope that this will cause their brain to work

for the first time

I, for one, find small feet attractive...but that's neither here nor there.
The art of bonsai is the art of rejuvenating a plant's roots and foliage with
careful and consistent pruning. So, to extend your analogy, we should say
that the "feet" are slipped into shoes just the right size - rather than put
into shoes too small, or too large. I imagine that your plants all look like
homeless clowns wearing giant shoes that've been scavenged from a dumpster. But,
please, I hope you'll take this in the good spirit it's intended, and not as an
insult!

Lastly, please don't post here again if all you're going to do is insult the
original Thread-starter. It adds nothing, and murks the Board with old Threads.
