Mrs. VF. It was on FB Auctions a couple weeks ago.

Bought myself a #2 kiyo hime AP while out shopping for my wife's family...View attachment 578468
If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it from?

 

[Hack Yeah!]

@19Mateo83 It was at a pikes nursery, it wasn't exactly a bargain but at least it has 3x more branching than the other few they had

A hydroponic propagator

I’m a personal trainer and one of my clients came in with this for my gift.



I was really shocked! They said not to worry they didn’t pay close to full price. Wherever they ordered from, it was mislabeled with a different author’s name

I got the 2023 Gafu-ten book!

 

[acj990]

Got two pre-bonsai JBP and a free western red cedar from Conifer Kingdom from the in-laws.

Also won some new Ryuga shears from a YouTube contest on Ben B. Seattle’s channel.


Happy Holidays.

Hi, brand new to bonsai as of a beginners class in Aug., and itching to learn more.
One of my daughters gifted me this for Christmas:

 

[Brain Treez]

I got Principles of Bonsai Design (2nd ed.) by David De Groot and after only skimming through I can tell it's going to be an incredible resource.

 

[Bpswieringa]

My boys got me the Lego Bonsai! I love it!!

Hey, I got one too!

 

[SilverCeder]

I was gifted the Lego bonsai when it came out years ago. Yes. It is awesome. But enough is enough! Where is the next version??? Can we get a cascade by the designers next?? Perhaps a tropical?? I demand more!

I got a Pomegranate, shipped from Brussels Bonsai!

I also got a pomegranate but mine got lost in the mail lol. I can’t fix this though

 

[Colorado]

Got this from my sister…guess I have my outfit figured out for Pacific Bonsai Expo 2026!

 

[ECMist]

I guess I'm a bit late... got a huge haul though.
I got 2 azaleas from House of Bonsai (one 'Green Glow' and one 'Shinsen'), the Satsuki Azalea book by Rick Garcia, some new pruning shears from Stone Lantern, an aeroponic propagator with Clonex to go with it, a root rake and a soil scoop. This will be one interesting year indeed

I actually got that this Christmas. Very interesting to assemble, not the way I thought it would be made. It's currently sitting next to my Lego Orchid as well, they both look a lot better than I thought

I got that one a few years ago. This year I got these from my GF and her mom respectively
