These are awesome. I used to work in a Bonsai shop here in Dallas, Texas. I learned a lot and these specimens you showed are pretty incredible. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for checking out my photographs of these little treasures. Yeah I am fascinated by the art of Bonsai , Im going to keep an eye out for any Bonsai displays happening this year in Scotland...stay tuned :).
The cool thing is... you can grow any tree in a pot and keep it inside and groom it to your environment... and that's a bonsai. I went crazy with this when i got into it. I only worked at the shop because the dude wouldn't tell me much info about the trees. I figured, if i worked there then he would have to give me the details so i could sell them. hahahaha
I already had a full time job then. So, once i figured it out it was fun to go looking for sprouting tree saplings in the Spring and transplant them. Sometimes it works.... sometimes it doesn't. But it's fun either way!
I will be keeping my eye out too!
I am eager to find a nice Scots pine here to turn into a Bonsai. We have some nice maples and an Acer I could try taking cuttings from.
Yes, the process to get roots going before your cuttings is pretty cool. You can get a full grown bonsai that way without having to worry. Acer Palmatum has always been one of my favs!
