My favorite is blooming again, i love this time of year! This Japanese iris planting must be getting close to 20 years old. The previous pot it was in was made by an old friend, it was gorgeous. It broke in a deep freeze a couple years ago, totally heartbreaking. But this plant is indestructible, it just keeps getting better every year!

See that full moonrise poking through the trees behind us? Little 🐻 was working hard to get just the right photo of it for us. These clear nights are the best! We're often out here working till 1 or 2 am just watching the moon go across the sky, its so nice. That particular night we were making with seedlings. Pretty cool.

Working on a Japanese larch seedling, around 6- 7 years old. Little ones like these start out as nice tall ones as shown in the last photo. Over the years they get cut down and made into short shohin specimens 🤩 This one is planted on a rock that i brought home from my friend's backyard in back in Y2K.

Hot off the presses, the new TCB tshirt!

If you dont already know the Japanese tradition of making 1000 paper cranes you can DM me to ask about it or just read about it online.

And of course 84 is the year i got obsessed with bonsai, when the Karate Kid was in theaters and Mr. Miyagi introduced us all to the little trees! 🤩

Ive had these on the auction page for a while, now ill just keep them listed here until theyre sold out.

Vine maple seedlings 10 pack.
This Oregon native is shade tolerant and has one of the most beautiful displays of orange and yellow fall foliage- see the last photo for an example of a sweet old yamadori specimen in full autumn glory. With 10 seedlings you can grow these out into a little forest and / or clump planting. They respond very well to being grown with the metal washer method to fuse the trunks together.
Get them while they last! Ill be selling these till theyre gone in the next few months.

50$
