Just starting to wake. A change into something less comfortable perhaps?

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: [bretts] Parrotia
This has been my first work with a Parrotia. They seem like great candidates for bonsai. I am very happy with the progress over the year. Obviously the leafless image shows the promise of this tree better than the leaf out image at the moment. But Don Deluca has shown that these take to defoliation well and with better ramification and a reduction in the leaf size this could make a very impressive shohin in the future.
I think a more masculine pot would work better. Just dropping the widest point on the pot could make the difference but I would also like to try a rounded rectangle pot.
