Dwarf trees for Dotty . . .

I really enjoyed seeing your bonsai, they are very attractive.
Lovely garden too!

Thank you very much Louisa :)

Those are so pretty, Sheila. You must find them very rewarding. I always fancy them, but I am not sure I have the patience!

Hi Sheila. It was lovely to see your fledgling bonasi and inspiring to see your lovely garden. I am going to try potting up some of the trees that spring up in my garden regularly. Wish me luck.

They're really good...I particularly like the Beech. and I like the purples and whites...lots of those in June, it seems, aren't there?

Thanks Mel . . . I just ignore them most of the time :)

Breda - good to hear from you, and I'm glad you're going to give your tree seedlings a try: good luck!

Paul - many thanks - I do love purple with white, and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't!

beautiful bonsai :) nice work on them.

thank you for sharing.

from jane!!!

Thank you Jane!

Your bonsai are great - I especially liked the hawthorn and the ash. What a lovely garden you have.

very welcome.
from jane!!!!!

Stera . . . yes, some subjects are better than others; thank you for the generous comments :)

This is fascinating Sheilabub I would never have thought of doing that but now that I see it I will have to try it. Love the acers, ash and hawthorn especially. Thanks for sharing!

Hmm... I like to pot up tree seedlings too but always give them room to grow, then can't find space for them. Inspired to try your method now - brilliant!
Sunny Sunday?? Not here!

Thanks Dirtyred!

Good luck with the tree seedlings Tuesday - it's just a bit of fun :)

They look brilliant Sheila. I would never have thought to try Sambucus. Love the border and I'm glad the babies survived the post ok, they should look a bit different after a year :o))

Thank you Annie :)) Of course, the Sambucus may not work!

How are the tangerine Cosmos doing? Mine are still quite small . . . probably they need sun, like me :)

Yes still small here too although we had a lovely weekend. I have a very pot bound Ceanothus 'Southmead' that is not likely to be used in the garden so I might give that a try....nothing to lose :o)

Thank you very much Sheila, my word you do have a lot on the go, such an enchanting selection, you will need a special display area to show them off.......I rather liked the Cotoneaster, the Beech and the Hawthorn, but they all have a certain charm, well done, you put my poor specimen to shame lol

Lol Dotty - I think yours is better than mine! Thank you for your generous comment - in fact, we do have a "special display area" except that it's no longer looking very special. The little trees are all kept together around a raised bed (where I posted the pic of one that was too heavy to move): some on a double shelf and some on a very old sledge that is falling to pieces! Maybe I'll go to a junk shop this very day, and see what I can find . . .

Annie - wouldn't a dwarf Ceanothus be lovely?!

They certainly need to be seen, they are little works of art Sheila......

Glad you approve, Dotty, very kind :)))

'A bit of fun' is good for all of us, Sheila. Looking forward to trying next time I spot a seedling tree.
