They sent me this mix instead of the normal organic conifer mix I ordered, but it seems to be just fine with the trees I put it in.

Added this little olive tree to my starting collection.
Not a purchase but I was just gifted this pot from my wife’s friend. Anyone recognize the chop/signature? I know we have a few peeps very knowledgeable in the pot universe, is there a thread on here to ask about pot IDs? Anyway… nice little pot but I know nothing about it. From the pattern on the bottom it looks as though it might be slip cast or some similar type of construction.

Looks like Slip cast Production quality Japanese to me. Nice little inexpensive pot. There are a few thread here to ID pots however the best ID sites:

I bought a bunch of those things myself. They are handy as hell.
Satsuki azalea at Lowes?
I was given a recognition award at work- $25 (hoping it has no reflection on my real worth), so, while looking at the redeem options I did not see anything more desirable than a Lawes gift card.
And as it was burning a hole in pocket, I went today... By the gardening section entrance I see azaleas with white, pink and mottled flowers, just had to stop and take a closer look...
So I got me one.
They had them in full sun and bone dry. Chased down the watering man and asked him to water the one I picked.
Here is the range of flower colors
Getsutoku is made up japanese-y word, but it is a sutsuki hybrid.

Today I visited 3 nurseries ending up buying a Japanese Red Pine (Pinus Densiflora) with a lateral trunk line and a Gold Juniper ( Gold coast probably) (two trees in one pot).
I don't know whether every beginner is like me, but getting out of a nursery without buying anything is really a challange, even if the material is worthless.

I went to the Santa Barbara Club Expo and bought a Juniper Bonsai, 2 Oxalis Accent Plants, 3 pots and 3 books (One of the books was Bonsai Techniques by John Naka for only $100)

I was absolutely like that, and still am at times. If you don't buy anything, especially if you went out of your way to go to the nursery, then it feels like a wasted trip.I don't know whether every beginner is like me, but getting out of a nursery without buying anything is really a challange, even if the material is worthless.

Eventually you come to the realization that you can't give each tree the time it needs and you start doing the regular seasonal work on the trees you have leaving no time for going to the nursery.Today I visited 3 nurseries ending up buying a Japanese Red Pine (Pinus Densiflora) with a lateral trunk line and a Gold Juniper ( Gold coast probably) (two trees in one pot).
