2012 - back



today 2016 - front

Very nice. Great ramification, but it looks like it was flowering in 2012! https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all.

Nice, airy feel to it, a natural looking image, i like.

canopy looks slightly heavy, but it works.

aye !

Very nice.

It looks like a tree not a bonsai (which is a complement by the way ).

Hi Khaimraj, This little bush is known for it's leaves called "Andes Coca" which are chewed and used in tea by the people of the South American Andes. My erythroxylum bonsai which I purchased at a bonsai '09 auction resides in my kitchen window year round with no flowers yet. I have had it outside in the summer but it attracts pests.

Best regards, Norma

Hee hee Norma,

Shh - secrets.
now you know why we call it - Oxy.

Yes, I know it has a small % of x, especially noticeable when repotting.
Now we must never speak of this again
Merry Christmas

Bobby, Marty,

I think I like it more, when it was lighter [ with the fake flowers ]
May just return it to that.

Marty got your p.m, just don't know when to say - hello.
Merry Christmas.
Laters.
