Bonsais

About a year ago my girlfriend gave me this Bonsai. I had already killed one so I decided I had to take good care of this one.

Incidentally I saw an ad for a free Bonsai course in the faculty where I teach so we both enrolled in it.

The first of these two photos shows that same Bonsai after some time of dedicated but wreckless treatment. The second one was taken today and is the result of one year of informed work.

I think the results talk for themselves. By the way that Bonsai is a 14 years old Chinese Elm.
