| Jan, I've traveled the world and while there are lots of beautiful places, I don't know of anyone place where you can get to the Mountains, deserts, ocean any quicker than here in the pacific northwest. Here's a pic of a weather beaten fir that makes a great inspiration for bonsai
Carmen, it is easier to find trees at nurseries but often they don't have the basic shape to work with. Most are ramrod straight for landscaping. I looked at Wells Nursery on my way past Arlington yesterday but the Cedar's I liked were over $100. |
