First post of the bonsai blog! I decided to make a blog instead of posting an imgur album every time.

Let’s start this blog off good. With this bougainvillea.

Let’s take a closer look at the trunk

This thing has a nice large trunk!

I have no plans yet, I’ll have to take a closer look at it to figure out what to do.

So how much was it? $15. That’s right fifteen dollars.

Story time, how did I find this beauty? Well my Dad was going to visit a nursery and I decided to tag along. We walked in and the first thing I see at the entrance are a few bougainvilleas. Took a look at their trunks and found this beauty.

I decided I would walk around first and see if there are other things with potential. That was a mistake.

About two minutes after I walk away, people came in and pulled one of the bougainvilleas aside. My Dad freaks out because we may have lost this tree. He wanted to tell them we were taking it but I stopped him because it’d be embarrassing. So they walk out like they’re going home and I sneak a peek at the bougainvillea they pulled aside. It wasn’t this one. Phew. I pull the one I want aside and a few minutes later they buy all of the bougainvilleas that were left.

Almost lost this tree because of that! If you see something good, pull it aside since you don’t know when someone else will take it! Thinking about it, if we even hit an extra stoplight or left a few minutes later I wouldn’t have been able to get this. Jeez.

Some other things.
