What’s your latest Bonsai related purchase?

[August]

Nice to see someone else falling into the ficus trap. I swear these things are the borg of the bonsai world. Resistance is Futile!

If ficus are the Borg, and Japanese Maple and JPB are star fleet... what's the Romulan of the bonsai world? Or the Klingon for that matter?!

what's the Romulan of the bonsai world?

Any tree with thorns

Or the Klingon for that matter?!

Any root over rock... Duh...

Also...picked this up early this morning. An Erin of course. Added to my pile in his shop.

Acer pot in the works...has 3 firings under it's belt. Once done...they all will ship out.

Might be a nice pot for one of those cosmic design trees.

8 cubic feet (226 liters?) of pumice and some coco coir.

After seeing this thread, I decided I needed a couple of Osage Orange to play with.

A small stone Buddha statue to go with a tree I plan to give to my friend.
I know it may not be something BNutters are keen about. However, I know my friend will be staring at the tree and the statue as the focus point for meditation.

Watch the suspension

Watch the suspension

My car is in the shop, that's a rental (neighbor backed into me as I was driving by, his insurance is covering everything).

 

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

I'm still on the pot! @BrightsideB pot with another of his masterpieces.

This is my newest pot from Bob Hunter. The Double Take Pink Quince is al;so new. It may not be its permanent home but I am going to slip pot it into the pot soon.

 

[Dog gate no show]

Pretty sure this is a scam as my dumbazz is just now figuring out I got scammed a month ago on a dog fence which never arrived. Seems it's the same bit. Live and learn. These were both Facebook ads.

They have time to control free speech but no time to police their scam advertisers.

I got scammed by this one. Multiple sellers listing same thing. I only go a BS track number from China. No reply to emails. Mine was from steriodrip/bushtopia. I also fell for a similar ad for raised bed gardening. Think I'd learn. If it looks too good to be true...

They are in the process of trying to screw me now. They did reply to my email and blamed it on the post office. To make the “it was delivered” scam work, they sent me a flimsily piece of cloth which does show delivery. Only problem was it was the piece of material not the dog fence and gate. Did you reach out to your credit card company? I am going to yell to anyone I can think of to report this fraud.

Love the pot and the tree. @Bob Hunter is such a talented potter, just trying not to buy on FB. Love the quince as well. I tried one years ago without success, but maybe I'll try again.

 

[Carol 83]

I have some Princess persimmons coming from @NaoTK . Looking forward to receiving them and I'm sure he'll throw in one of his wonderful pots.

Material for forest… some local Chinese trees (still need to find what it is ) and obviously a pot… will be fun…

Edit: my smart app tells me it’s Chinese golden larch… will be my first forest…

I wondered where/why I got this weird scarf thing out of the blue... I simply went online to my card company and disputed the payment and was quickly resolved. I'm more pissed at FB for allowing this to go on continually. "sponsored ads"

 

[LeatherTree23]

Not a purchase but a gift from my partner on a special 12 year anniversary for me. Not the fanciest but an upgrade for me

I think that’s real cool

Oh man… stoked about this one…

New Sara Rayner pot

 

[Frozentreehugger]

2 spring garage sale plastic tables . 10 $ legs remove for easy storage . No bonsai practitioner has enough tables . Especially in my situation where I need portability to chase the sun season to season

 

[August]

@Frozentreehugger glad you agree. I was starting to feel crazy... whenever I take home a dinky table or shelf that we're throwing away at work, my coworkers call me a hoarder
