My son and I got this azalea for his mom almost 15 years ago as a mothers day gift. Its a northern lights azalea we named 'Aurora'4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Another accent planting I put together this morning. I made the container as well. I have a few little japanese maple saplings in the greenhouse. The little one in here will be grown as an accent plant for now3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Got rid of a few things. Might wait til fall to wire more branches down. Not all grafted trees are bad2yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
It not a bonsai, it's a fern. I planted this fern in with one of my bonsai on April 29th (right picture). I'd say it is doing quite well after just over a month.4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
I don't call this bonsai but it is a little tree in a pot. Ive been making little guys like this at work 😊2yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
More progress on 'Big gay Al' I have been slowly chipping away at wiring the branches and selective pruning. The apex needs some work yet but he is coming along3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Pretty pumped on this little Mugo for $10.99. Really interesting trunk3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
This is Mabel. She is my biggest tree. She is about 13 years old and she has been in my family since she sprouted from a seed4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Back deck is getting crowded. There's still quite a few that couldn't fit into the photo3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Mugo shaping up nicely. The right side needs work yet but needs more growth to work properly2yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Took some advice from @cakewalkbackwards and took Brennan Huff, one of my western hemlocks, in a different direction. I need more wire 🤷♂️3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
This time of year is the best time of year for moss. It glows in the sun ☀️4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
My little juniper took a shit kicking a couple winters back. I thought she was going to die but she managed to live through last summer, push out a little bit of growth and is now starting to push some more buds. I think she makes a nice literati shape, needs a smaller pot to match the style4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
My Kashima Yatsabusa, named Yoshi, is just starting to change colours for fall 😊3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
I love how this pot has turned out. The little mushroom is just a bonus 😊4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Kusamono/shitakusa/accent plant with wild grass, yarrow and moss 😊. This is one of the first cement pots that I made as well. This was put together in the early spring and it gets watered twice a day3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Gary's front. I might change his position in the pot the next time I repot him.4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Check it out... a pine on a coffee table, in the living room, INSIDE 😂3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
My big ginko needs to be cleaned out. I want to eventually air layer off the top 2 lateral branches3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
This is Brennan. He's a western hemlock. He's been undergoing some serious reshaping the whole time I have owned him, which has been 6 years now. The top portion was originally bent down back along the lower trunk. Last year he had more of a fan/umbrella shape.4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
We all have a tree or 2 that doesn't make. This is an old photo of an eastern hemlock that didn't survive. Got a little too eager with him. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned, life goes on3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Has anyone else worked with one of these plants? It's a Sacred Bamboo I dug up last spring, put in this pot this spring and carved some deadwood. It grows well and seems to almost like being stressed out5yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Not bonsai but I thought you folks might enjoy a picture of the tractor I drive at work loaded up with Fireglows. I have started to set aside some trees that they consider 'unsellable' because the tops have died off. I cut them back and set them aside. Patience is easy with a few thousand trees3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
This is a much better picture of my sacred Bamboo, nandina... It was neglected in the front garden just 5 months ago5yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Brennan has been making cones for 4 years now. He usually only makes a few a year. This year he only made one, and this is it4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Gary one of my oak trees. Today I was playing around with the wife's dslr3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Spring ia going to be busy. These are 14 of the 20 new trees I acquired this year. The hard part is going to be getting decent priced planting medium. One major downfall of living on the island3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
I love this view of Gary. He is spreading out very nicely. A second flush is yet to come 😊4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Just some wires. I for one have never used copper wire. I have always used the coated aluminum4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Not my favorite pot and it is definitely proportionally large due to a large root system. That will be cut back over a few years and pot size reduced. Despite all that, this is one of my favorite plants this year. The leaves stay on all winter and turn a bright red/orange. Nandina domestica4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
I will be starting a new career at Dinter Nursery in Duncan BC, next week. If you are local to the island and looking for something in particular you can let me know and I can see what we have in stock3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Little bit of crafting. This is a spruce tree that didnt make it and has been drying out for 2 years now. The pot is from my wife's grandmother. Its quite old, i am not ecactly sure how old, her parents had purchased it on one of their trips to china. The rest is dollar store moss4yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
Broken can still be beautiful. Made a little kusamono out of a broken pot. Once the moss sets it should hold everything in3yr ⋅ philthyphilthy ⋅ r/Bonsai
