Meiboku ni uraomotenashi
2011Seeding(Mishou)
I heard Some people outside Japan think most of us use high class material but it's not true.
In fact my husband&I mostly can not afford to get them so we rather do making our own material by seeding,cutting,layreing etc.Here is some example.




These are seeded in March(or late February) and Now



Seeding takes long long way to create descent bonsai though I cannot stop it.
Sankan ni meiboku nashi

Failed grafting
Camellia's grafting seemed to be failed. Only few have survived at this moment, but not sure if they really live or not. The cause of defeat: probably lack of water. My husband said better do this in spring(April).OK, I will try again next April.
