| Yes, and be welcomed! What are some of your favorite plants? Any projects you're working on? |
|
| Favorite plants. Hmmm. High altitude natives. Bristlecone pine, Englemann Spruce, Vine Maple, Alpine Fir, Western Silver Fir, Lodgepole Pine, That sort of thing. Projects? Keeping what I have alive and looking good. Sometimes it wears me out. I'm old as dirt and sometimes it is hard to move them around. Herb. |

| Don't feel bad, sometimes we're young as snow and still hate moving them! |

| Nice selections, Herb! I tried growing some Vine Maple seeds this Spring, but I think they were bunk from the start. Lodgepole Pines are fantastic. I see them when I hike in the Sierras. I might have a pic somewhere....

| Moving bonsai around isn't just difficult or a pain in the neck for me. I have three that are simply impossible. If someone were to tell me that they weigh 150 pounds, I would believe it. 50 years ago they were five gallon nursery stock. Now, some of them have eight to ten inch trunks and I can't get them through my sliding glass door. I just kick and shove them around as necessary. :( |
