Often when facing life or death situation, anything that has a life usually fought with all of its mightly will to live. When life is abundant, then the troubles often set in for being complacent and conceite (sorry for sounding philisophical, but it sure seems to behave like that). I have trees that being tied by a large chain then pulled off the ground by a truck that tear off most of the bark, some sat on the curb 3 or 4 days with the root ball and the dirt almost completely drying out. You just do all you can deligently and hoping it can pull though, sometime after weeks of caring and hope and think all of your efforts are in vain, just so joyfull when finally you be able to see some of the tiny buds pushing though. Thanks.

Interesting mention of Dickens, since this whole thread harkens to the theme of Great Expectations.

Hi David,
Its a hard thing to do when you expecting anything from anyone. As members of bonsai community, we can only do what we can collectively to lessen the pressure on some of the old souls of our native species.
In hope, i can share the common bonsai citizenship with you: ttp://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/t16077-bonsai-citizenship : . Thanks.

In the spirit of Charles Dickens contradiction, it would be a great read if someone crafts: The Tales of Two Bonsai.

Thanks for your kind words, I have been cultivating bonsai only for about little more than 3 years, that is nothing compare to some of the works people on this board have put in. I would love to see some of the pictures of mature bonsai got saved from being trashed. I stumbled upon Graham Potter videos on youtube and a lot of his works are from very ordinary materials saved from trash bins or unwanted. He opened my eyes and from that point on I can only see beauty in any stump laying around randomly on side walks. I will continue update new pictures of trees that I saved when condition permit. Thanks again.

Hi Khaimraj,
Nothing to apology about. I appreciate whole lot more of people put in time and effort to contradict of what other people thinking, often that when I can pickup some profound ideas. I live in a country that people often hide the truth because they afraid of hurting the other people feelings and give out only positive appraisals, over a prolong period of time it can make us delusional. Thanks.
