名媛直播

Could you explain please? I'm sorry I don't understand. Like is 名媛直播 no just the plant, or is it that the tree has to be living? Sorry I don't understand what you mean.

Wow that one is awesome (the top one)

Well the reason why I would rather have a stuffed cat/dog rather than a real cat/dog is because they keep dying, and I don't want to get them just so they can die.

Actually you got me. I wanted to see what bonsai gardeners think of artificial bonsai trees. I make artificial bonsais because every attempt I had ended in like 2 weeks. but now I'm working on artificiall bonsais, and I even got a few to have lights in them. Here are a couple What do you guys think. (oh yea by the way I'm still learning how to use this website. Sorry if I'm doing something wrong here.)

Ok Thank you for your input. So for you most of the joy comes from making the tree, and not the visual spectacle of it.

I think the fact that bonsai change every day of their lives, and the time spent caring for it is a highlight, rather then having "something that looks like a small plant".

Personally, I would never ever buy a plastic plant. Keeping it healthy is just part of the hobby. If you do not like caring for plants, bonsai is the wrong hobby,

The horror...

Sorry, but this really has got nothing to do with bonsai. I'm sure people like your designs and will buy your creations, but it is quite clear you do not know what a real bonsai looks like. As I said before, your works look more like mallsai.

For me it's both.

Let me elaborate a bit:
Your works are static. Trees are dynamic, they grow and change with the seasons. My crabapple currently is nice, but not spectacular. That changes in spring, when it is in full bloom. The second object you posted has nice flowers, but it will never change. It will always look the same.

That's actually a really good point. The fact that it is alive gives the tree character. Part of the art is that it is living which is missing in artificial bonsai.
