Happy birthday!

Look forward to seeing how this one goes.
Keep me posted on the detail as I have no idea how to work with Azaleas.
They just confuse me.

Mine are just growing until I figure them out!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Hi mate,
That's a really unusual flower - I like it

I presume it was the "little fella" which died, that's a pity. Do you still pot them in pure Kanuma?

Regards
Steve
