I wish i had a local Bonsai club... I really like your bonsai posts. I lost my (meager) bonsai collection a few years ago. I had to take some time off after that and am just starting to build up again. For this reason, I don't have much to post right now. I might post an update to my larger azalea though, it is back budding and growing like crazy. I'm not sure if i should prune the older, long branches back yet or not... maybe i could get some help if i posted some pictures up :)
