Well, it seems that my trees perform more willingly for me here than my orchids. My two tropical bonsais - a Grewia and a Pomegranate - are absolutely cruising. Here are a few photos.

This is my wild bush of a Grewia before Phillip tamed it

And here it is after its haircut. It was cut back severely and pre-bonsaid by a master in June, so its bones should start to become more evident after each shaping.

And here's my dwarf pomegranate. It was also cut back severely in June, grew back into a bush, and this is how it looks after Phillip shaped it. It's far from being a bonsai, but it has 4 buds, more coming, and the flowers are beautiful!
