newbie bonsai (wrightia religiosa mame)

There are some wonderful curves in this trunkline. The blossoms of a Wrightia are a true joy - the way they smell, their pendulous nature, and their delicate texture.

This is larger than a mame, it appears to be more shohin-sized. Also, please separate your images next time rather than using a single, large image. It's friendlier to most folks downloading.

Here are some ideas for improvement. By air or ground layering, you can reduce the awkward lower trunk. If you push the foliage back over the long section of trunk, it will hide some of the monotony of that section and create a more compact, powerful image over time. Lastly, roots do not do well in light. The clear container could be problematic.
