Bonsai Garden
Bonsai are trees which are kept small by planting in small containers. A Japanese art form which originated from China during the 6th century. It takes time and care to grow a bonsai. Proper branching, wiring, watering and trimming are just a few steps in caring for the bonsai. Here are some more photos from our previous trip and if you missed that post feel free to have a look

Hope you enjoy and ponder about this beautiful artform.
Bonsai Garden
There are a lot of tutorials out there if you have the passion to grow a bonsai. I tried doing it by growing a fire tree from a seedling and it's growing but not the way I expected it to. I might be missing something which I would need to do more research on. Maybe I would post a photo one day if it grows up right. If you are not into growing you could purchase one from around $20 and the most expensive one was sold for more than a million dollars. That bonsai was said to be around 800 years old.
This is my favorite a bonsai growing on rock which is very emotional. Life striving to thrive thru hardship a very dramatic scene which can be compared to real life. There is no information who created this bonsai but I could say it takes one hell of an imagination and creativity to make this artform.
The trees here are very unfamiliar to me and could not tell their names. This one I am pretty sure is a Tamarind tree. I always wanted to have a Tamarind tree in our small backyard but my aunt won't allow it as it makes a lot of mess with the tiny leaves falling. She said that it is very hard to clean up the small dried up leaves and I am too lazy to clean it up myself. I guess it is partly true our back yard is mostly cemented it would be easier if it was dirt and you could just let it pile up on the ground.
Well I hope you enjoyed the photos and hopefully I made you appreciate this art. It is very beautiful and I could say who would not want one. But it takes time to care for one as it is a journey which continues thru life. If you take care of it properly it will outlive you and will be a gift to your next generation and maybe it would be worth millions after a couple of centuries.

I would like it a lot to have that kind of trees in my garden, but it sounds expensive for a good example of the tree. I hope your bonsai will grow up like how you expected in a few months
Hey sha how have you been? Still in the country? You should apply for dual citizenship lol. We welcome you with open arms as I could tell you are already a pinay at heart. Nice hearing from ya. Cheers

They are fascinating! It seems like such a huge responsibility. I can't even keep a poinsettia alive after Christmas is over!
Wouldn't be amazing to have a forest in your home. All those small trees inside your house and yes I think much care and attention is needed.
Very interesting trees. Thank you for the great photos.
Thank you. These are very relaxing.
