He’s wasted on us !

Another excellent post by PW, worth reading for the quotes alone. Not that what he had to say was too bad either 😉

Accent of the Day – Grass

Collected in a bog while on the hunt for pines, this grass has turned out rather nice, if it’s even a grass!

Accent of the Day – Hosta Gingee

Had this variety for ages and is well suited to accent pot culture. I have only just had it identified as Gingee by Bali Hai Nursery.

Pollen

Alot of trees seem to be having a good year as far as flowers go. I have seen a lot more flowers on pines, Scots, Mugo and Japanese White.

This ones a Mugo at Stephen’s house the other day. Anybody else seeing more of this this year?

This Common Juniper also at Stephen’s only had to be touched to raise a cloud of pollen.

Accent of the day – Lewisia

I have a lot of accent hitting their best at the moment, so I’m going to pop one or two up each day until I run out of plants or interest, whichever comes first 🙂

My New Baby

This is my latest acquisition, a Root over Rock  Itiogawa  Juniper from Willowbog Bonsai. This is it just as I bought it. I’m not working on it until the Peter Warren Workshop in September, but I will do a little clean up of the shari and bark and inner weak foliage.
