bahama berry in bloom and progress

i acquired this august 2014 as a tiny twig from meehans miniatures at the chicago show on the 3 for $12 stand:



it has been coming along nicely and is now about 5" tall.





the pot is a bit large, but i read that they need to be over-potted as they can fill a pot with roots in one growing season
and they are of the "i dry i die" disposition so the extra pot & soil is also bit of a safety net.

and the scent ?
fuggeddaboutit... absolutely intoxicating

Nice, Nashia inaguensis,

I dry, I die, ha ha, what a way to go.
The Bonsai Society's president has one down here, a really old one.
Gave me a small one, I never knew what to do with it.
Okay Sifu, begin the teaching.

Thanks for showing.

can luck be taught ?

do you still have yours ?

i really dont do anything special except pay closer attn to the water...
as i have only had it for 2 growing seasons (almost) i have been doing nothing but letting it grow and cutting it back with the eventual goal of a nice little shohin size tree... no wire yet... just clip n grow

Good horts, brewski......
Looks like it finds your accomadations quite suitable.
Theses "tropical cherries" seem to really attract squatters, especially scale.
Seems you have avoided them as ill-invited guests!

Nice flowers.

thanks lance...
the flowers have the same effect as morrisey

Now I'll pay good money to see you traipse around with a bouquet of these in the back pocket of your jeans!!!

they work better in the front pocket...
