Oh what beautiful Bonsai. Ron will enjoy these. I just love Bonsai and thinking of all of the work and history that has gone into each one. They are just lovely. So are the regular flowers.

Bonsai are pieces of living art. I have tinkered with them for about 15 years.
Those Bonsai look very interesting.I also love the flower images,of course.
Wow- I am so impressed with those who can train trees..it must take a lot of patience and skill, and the end result is just beautiful!
Hey! Have you guys been "bonsai-a-fied?" I don"t know, you're both looking a little short.
What does it mean by "Training Began . . ." ?? Just curious. Nice post!

Always love the sweet pictures of the two of you. The Bonsai trees are so interesting. One of the dates is the year before I was born. The flowers are just what I need. I love your flower photos of course.
Hugs!
The bonsai are beautiful. I see two of them were started the year before I was born, I sometimes feel like I am on the way to being as twisted as them too. Love the bright, cheerful colours in the flowers, too. The bougainvillea is stunning.
I love all the bonsai and the flowers are beautiful!
