My first Bonsais!

well well, Christmas 2006 is gone… gosh… what a pity… not :-)
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I like xmas… especially all the eating and the full belly and the presents *eg*

hmm speaking about presents… my wife had a good idea for me this year. She gave me my first bonsai tree. I always loved those little trees since I love the way they are arranged. They are little artworks and they need a lot of love and care, that’s sure, but on the other hand it doesn’t seem too difficult to care for them.

Well, I will try my best on the first two I now have. Two? Yes, two. After the xmas present of my wife, we went out today to take a visit at a local bonsai shop to get some informations about the handling and the care such a little tree needs. No wonder we ended up, buying another bonsai then. I took a foto from both – see them somewhere here in this post :-)

Bonsai is art, that’s for sure, and I am looking forward to grow up some different bonsais by myself in the future. I also like to set up our new garden (I told you that we bought a condominium with a huge garden) in a japanese (asian) style with “Feng Shui” influences and in that I also like to have some beautiful looking putdoor bonsais or little bonsai woods. Okay okay, I am aware that this will need time and much care, but I believe it would be a beautiful, peaceful and also cool garden when it is set up at the end.

Here are my first two bonsais. The first one is the one my wife gave me for xmas, the other one is the small one I bought today in the bonsai shop. Number One is a kind of figtree, while number two is a so called Legustrum.
