I couldn´t avoid to photograph today my Leptospermum in full bloom

Also, today I found this poor thing, under the weeds in a corner of my garden. It's been laying flat and potless for two years there. I can´t understand why it didn't die... But portulacarias are extraordinarily resilent, and so it was alive and overgrown. I've prunned heavily and repotted. I guess I'll give it away....

Workshop with Adam Toth. I brought my new Japanese Maple ROR that I bought from Lotus. I had intended to just go over the tree with Adam and figure out the plan. He looked at it and noticed that the soil it was in wasn't good and said, "Let's repot.". I was very hesitant as I've always been told to never repot a Maple after it's fully leafed out. He told me that if it died, he'd buy me a new, "better" tree. 
I also checked out the REBS bonsai exhibit at the Sonoma Botanical Gardens where we're doing our advanced workshops now. Very nice display!

It was a busy week, I had to improve the protection on the field cause we get a lot of wind due to the valley and it gets as dry as 10% of humidity.
But I managed to work on a couple of trees.
A small mugo pine that had some exposed roots, I'll work it as semi cascade
A field maple forest made last year of saplings collected on the building's parking. They had barely any roots but they grew a lot, the flat allows the roots to go into the ground.
And finally I was happy to see that some signs of life on a recently made lebanon cedar forest. I may have trimmed the roots too hard, they were thick and long, and many trees started shedding the needles, but some of them started to sprout anyway.
I need to learn more on root management for cedars.

Doubt the one on the right will survive. Buds are puny, many dead roots. Most roots were
on the perimeter of the pot with no to little resistance inside to clear out the nursery soil.
Hope it does make it. Could be a mame some day. This is it's last chance to survive
after making the bay purchase last year.
The left JWP Aoi, had nice strong buds and good white tipped roots.
Foliage looks healthy too. Lighting was a little off.

This happened march 1st but I just checked a trail cam I got out and noticed these pics. It's of me agitating the roots of a BC. The BC had termites in the substrait and I wanted to remove it all so I bounced it up and down in the creek. It came out pretty c;lean. I also mixed a bunch of damascus earth in with the potting soil when I repotted. I don't know if any of this will work but I'll find out next year or may even lift it out of its pot in a couple months and give it a check.
Are you near Crolles?

I only have one tree remaining from before I left for college and that's because it was my mom's favorite so she took good care of it for a decade while I was in my 20's broke living in apartments with just a few tropicals. Once I finally bought a house she gave it back to me. It spent the last three years in my garden getting healthier and closing up some of the wounds from bad pruning and broken branches. Last year my surgery prevented me from digging it up so today I finally got it out of the ground. My old exposed root Korean dwarf lilac.

Cut this Golden Weeping Boxwood back pretty hard and put it in a pot.
Yes, I have been a few times. My distributor in France is there...

That looks like a Tonka truck met a phone booth!
