Summertime...

It's summertimere here in south Florida, and the bonsai are doing a lot of growing. I keep trimming some of them back, and others I'm letting do their own thing. They are all looking happy and healthy, though, so that's a very good thing!

I got an email yesterday from someone who had bought a 25 year old desert rose, and she wanted to know what she could do to keep it just the way it looked in the pictures she attached.... Well, I wrote back and explained that I've never had a 25 year old desert rose, and was therefore the wrong person to advise her. But I did recommend that she find a local bonsai club, or a garden shop/nursery that specialized in bonsai, and bring her desert rose in for them to look at and to advise her. I hope that helped!

Hope you're having a great summer!
