Re: Lavender Advice? :)
Don't. It is not an ideal subject for bonsai despite the character the trunk can develop. Check out a lavender bush and all the foliage grows straight up. It is not going to look as nice if you wire it more or less horizontal. Lavender can be touchy and short lived and time spent on trying to bonsai lavender could be better spent working with plants that will produce a better return on your efforts. Put the lavender in the ground so you can touch the foliage as you walk by on your way to your bonsai.
