BONSAI BITCHES!

Excuse the vulgar obscenity above, but I just could not resist. I have started (yes I know) yet another bonsai tree. This is like my third attempt. But honestly, can one really hope to nail an ancient, Japanese, Zen art-form on the first try or two? I think not. Besides, this one should be easier. I have optimal sunlight and I have chosen a rather hardy plant for this one, a Japanese Boxwood. They can endure extreme temperatures, both high and low, and they don’t need a ton of water. I have already shaped the little guy as you can see. I will let it grow a bit before I do any drastic pruning. I will probably end up cutting it down quite a bit in order to get the trunk to thicken up. Isn’t he cute.
