So sorry you are feeling under the weather. And the anniversary probably didnt help much. Yea those bonsai trees are really great value, but I noticed that the bonsai that are for sale nowadays dont come with a dish. And a bonsai needs to be sitting in water for a good while.

I like bonsai,but in others houses.For me they is to difficult,,i think they take to much time.Have to be really enthusiast growing it.

Hope you are feeling okay, today must be a tough day and not feeling under the weather can take its toll too. great value with the bonsai, Paul bought one last year its very tempermental to say the least but despite one or two near disaster experiences its coming along at the moment.

Thoughts with you and yours Dave, can't be easy.  We used to keep bonsai when we lived in the UK - all that misting and root trimming did my head in - I almost don't have any indoor plants any more - hmm - is that a cue for a shopping trip??

Sharon, yes it is DEFINITELY time for a bit of indoor plant shopping. If you want low-maintenance indoor plants, why don't you get a few cacti or succulents. You CANT kill them!

Sorry to hear your not feeling very well. Hope you recover soon. Going to the grave was,nt easy, I will keep him in my prayers.  Bonsai ia great. Twenty years ago I bought one for an anniversary present for my brother and his wife (who is a great gardener) and I paid £60 for it. Punts. I must have been mad!!!!  They had it for years.

Sorry to read you have been unwell Dave.All overi its been a really tough time on you.

Dave glad to hear you got over the day - anniversaries are always diificult. I have never had a bonsai but like to admire good luck with it sounds like a real bargain.

Nice purchase and lovely price too.  A real bargain.
