For years I've wanted to own/care for a bonsai tree (think Karate Kid...Mr. Miagi). I ordered a couple from a mail order plan company for $2.75 a piece. I was pretty impressed with my cheapo plants! Truthfully, these are not bonsai (yet), they are dwarf indoor junipers that can be made into bonsai by patient trimming and training. I may have to order another set to practice trimming because these are too pretty. After trimming the tree is supposed to look like a miniature version of a mature tree. Here is an example. I think they are beautiful.

2 posts in a week! Wow! Very cool plants. I love the red pots!
I love the red too... it looks great against the yellow! What a fun hobby to get into. I can't wait to watch the progress.
Those are great--and what a great price! I would like to do that someday. We just planted some things around our little waterfall in the back yard and Kyle wanted "something like a bonsai". He found a cool little pine that reminds me of a joshua tree. We'll have to post pictures soon.
Very cool! Wax on....wax off.
I think hey are so interesting too!
