Speaking of books, I went to the library today where I found, and
checked out, "Trees and Shrubs for Flowers" by Glyn Church. Firefly Books 2002. $24.95. I believe I have already seen it on sale shelves in Borders. Bonsai is never mentioned, but anyone who likes flowering bonsai might find this book useful for finding unusual species.

I fall prey to this quest as well, but why do we quest so often for the unusual when sustainable trees exist all around us?

Just to have something "different," I suppose. ;-)

Yes, I understand this. I use orchids for this purpose. But in my 25 years of doing bonsai, I can't tell you how many exotics I have killed because I don't have the resources (one of them being time the other funding) to maintain these plants. To me it is a bit like keeping a pet tiger. It is exotic, but totally artificial outside its native area. I guess as a lover of nature, I begin to accept and appreciate the passing of the seasons. Now I don't mean to chastise anyone, these are just the musings of an old lady contemplating her winter and accepting limitations.

Dear Kitsune Miko:
That is the exact reason I want some color in my tree house; to contrast the snow or rather drab winter outside. Here in the east the winters can be long and colorless. A spot of color among the greens of my tropicals (which are certainly out of their natural habitat) keeps me from the affliction of "cabin fever"! :>) Carl L.
