These two beauties from @Pitoon . The time and care he puts into packaging them is amazing, not to mention the workmanship of the boxes and the pots themselves. The pictures don't do them justice, the glaze on the purple one is spectacular. Thanks @Pitoon !

I know, I was surprised too when I went and got the mail. No worries, I'll take good care of the purple one!

That's pretty cool.

That's pretty cool.

At first I thought it was simple on3 of each sharing a pot. But nope, there are different colored flowers on the same shoots so…..into the shopping cart it went for $6-7

Wish you didn't live in Germany, I'd like a cutting.

Aquarium tubing to prevent wire bite. Not sure I needed 25meters of it but it was only 7€ compared to many more listings of less tube for more moneys. Thanks Amazon I’m good for the next few decades

Totally wish I could snap my fingers and have one materialize in your mailbox. If I could do that i’d send you a whole plant. Went back today because I needed to use the post office next door and they were all GONE! Kinda glad I grabbed it when I did now.
According to the labels they were cultivated in Scicily but who knows for sure. Sold like hotcakes though, all gone in under 24hours.

Aquarium shops here sell it by the foot. If you got the silicone type
its good to synch my 7’ (2+ meters) wind chimes down.

Got these 2 pines at the Midwest Bonsai Society show in chicago today.

This guy just arrived from @rodeolthr . Man this guy can pack and ship a tree safely! Many thanks! I couldent resist this one’s spring color and the serrated leaves give it a very delicate, feminine feel.

Finally catching up to taking picks of my spring time purchases

Got a bunch of pots. The top 2 beige/grey ones are from an auction at MABS, the other 4 unglazed ones are from Bonsai Vision, the two glazed are from Chuck Iker. I really love the color on the Iker oval and had to snap it up when I saw it.


Closeups

Mabs unglazed: Both basically the same just different sizes




Chuck Iker round (probably will be used for an accent plant). Very bright and cheery glaze.

Not really a purchase but woke up this morning to a box on my door step. Apparently a friend of mine that had some pots decided he wanted to donate. I told him thanks and appreciate the donation.

After talking to him he has 12 azaleas in front of there church they want to change out to something else. They have been there about 7 years. Small leaf, pink flowers with some spotting in them. Of course I'm going to get them. I got until fall to get them.
