Thought it was a big piece of lichen at first... It sat there all calm watching me while I took all the wire off. Very cute. This maple is growing better this year than any previous one for me. Maybe it's a magic toad.

I believe your friend is a green tree frog. Yep, looks like lichen.

LOL I had one of these but he lived under the pot of my amur maple. After a while he sought more permanent housing elsewhere.

Good spot he found! btw, I'm totally not afraid of them.

Hey Judy, this is the first I've seen of this tree, I love it! The trunk with it's hollow reminds me of a Ben Oki tree. A hackberry I think, maybe residing at the Pacific Bonsai Museum. Good one!

That looks very nice! Thanks for sharing and that Tree toad looks happy about it too! For the most part they are nocturnal see we don't often see them except for in Spring as they seek "friendship"

How cute is he!?! Yeah, he is pretty much looking like lichen as well at first glance.
The pot and tree a stunning combination!

That is no coincidence, as that hackberry is one of my favorite trees...

No kiddin', how cool is that!! I've had Ben as a long time bonsai buddy even though I haven't seen him in years. He used to tour Florida a good bit and we met and hit it off. I'm in south Georgia and was a member of a group in Tallahassee, Florida at the time. Great bonsai man and teacher, just a great guy..................I'm glad I saw your tree and look forward to seeing it's progress in the coming years. And it'll serve as a reminder of Ben and our times back in earlier days in bonsai. Again............how cool is that!! Thanks much Miss Judy!!That is no coincidence, as that hackberry is one of my favorite trees...
