This is one of the little Orchids I got from Jose at Centro Bonsai Tenerife back in the Autumn. Delighted to see it flower this week.

Accent of the Month

Not much in the way of good looking accents in February but this little one never fails to please.

Accent Package

This package hit the doorstep this week, a selection of accents courtesy of Robert Porch. It’s great to have friends who freely swap plants, my collections has swelled greatly in the few years that I have been really into accents and kusamono. Anyone else interested 😉

What impressed me was the clever way it was packaged, a cut down milk container taped closed at the top. Plants wrapped in paper and protected by the structure of the container. Cheap to post too.

A Few New Accents

What! More accents I hear you say 🙂 These were exchanged in my now regular swap sessions with Robert Porch who was over talking at our Club meeting this Friday.

Two Soldanella Alpina, one is ‘Minima’ and the other is ‘Alba’ which as the name suggests, will have a white flower.

And also this one which I have seen in a few Japanese origin photos, but I don’t know the name. Ideas?

Accents – New Arrivals

I’m exchanging a few accents with Jose at Centro Bonsai Tenerife . I love this aspect of the bonsai community 🙂

Jose’s parcel arrived today with 14 new plants for my collection. A few will need a little extra protection in out Irish climate but most should be fine. I’ll be sending Jose a selection of my hostas once leaves start to drop.

Three mini roses the the mix.

I was able to split a few as well.
