Great weekend, got to go to the Bay Island Bonsai show and what a treat. I've decided that I'm going to join the club, as they have weekend workshops, and I really like the perfection that seems to be achieved in the trees on display that I saw. Met a few folks, and had a good time at the auction-won an auction on a tree too. Now have a real nice california buckeye, they grow all over here, so it should do well. I was actually going to try to grow 5 or 6 this year, as they germinate quickly and easily, and are quite a seed. They're about the size of a fist, and are enclosed in pods at the branch end. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to working with it.
