For sometime I have been a fan of Japanese gardens. The flow, the focal points, the stone, the water and the wonderful trees. I, along with my family, live in The Woodlands, Texas. The local environment of east Texas lends itself to a Japanese garden style with our majestic pines, as well as palms and deciduous trees, availability of powerful stone and our unique weather. I have been studying the art of Japanese gardens, as well as the art of the garden tree, and am writing this blog to discuss the growth of my own Japanese garden, as well as discuss my fondness for this ancient style.

Another Chinese Loropetalium, and a little progress.

Chinese Loropetalium/ Bonsai training

I got another Chinese Loropetalium from a local nursery at a huge discount - my MO.   I cut it back hard, and am starting its training into a bonsai.












Not long ago I conducted a little Fukinaoshi on one of my Wax Myrtles.  It had grown to large and the shape was boring and too normal.  But today I noticed that it is starting to bud (notice the small green buds) which is progress. As it grows I will start the training process.
