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.

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.

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.
