Just an excuse to post some recent plant pics!
On the top left is the first cactus that's ever bloomed for me!
I've had this little guy about 4 years and it bloomed for the first time ever a few weeks ago!
On the top right are some tulips.
I got the bulbs free in the mail a few years ago, and they've bloomed faithfully every spring with absolutely no fuss or maintenance on my part.
Pretty cool deal!
On the bottom is a Juniper bonsai that I bought last Saturday from a little Japanese man who was selling bonsai trees on the side of the road, oddly enough.
I was an easy sale. The bonsai man pocketed $25 and I took home my bonsai.
I've already got a ficus bonsai that I've kept alive for 3 years, so I figure (or hope) that I'm experienced enough to try another variety.
This juniper will be more challenging than the ficus, and it will have to live outside, but I've been reading up on them...I think I'm up to the challenge. :-)
Maybe one day I'll be like Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid and have a whole bonsai farm!
