A site devoted to Ficus bonsai
I've been getting notifications every now and then that I would get a new follower on this blog and I'd think "Oh, that's neat." I checked my follower count tonight and I'm up to over 50?!

I call it the "Royalty Ficus" because it was once in Suthin's Royal Bonsai Garden. Here's the tree as it was back when I... Continue Reading →
Hello! Last weekend, May 14th, I partook in the festivities for World Bonsai Day at the National Arboretum in D.C..
