Flowering time for my beloved Sakura. It reminds me what Bonsai is all about albeit they may carry very little money value these days :(
Their value is in their extraordinary beauty year after year. :fc:

Oh how pretty what is it, excuse my ignorance being a beginner, is it a flowering plum or similar
Lovely shape, you must be proud.

It is a Sakura. Confirmed by my Japanese friends. Never failed me in the last ten years to flower in August then comes the lovely leaves thro out the whole year until winter. :tu:

I bought a dozen seeds online last year but they came from the USA and none of them sprouted, still have them planted. Not sure if it was the change in hemisphere/seasons or if I really do need to stop buying seeds online...

Try to grow from seed? Seeing the seed germinate is a life changing experience.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time.

It would be my guess the pain left your back, even for a short time, while you were taking those pic's Bon. There is a very special place for flowering Bonsai in everyone's collection. Beautiful tree mate.
