Bonsai Inspirations

Posted on September 11th, 2009 by Jon Brown in bonsai tree care | 7 Comments »

A visit to the mountains to seek bonsai shaping inspiration from full size trees, and a view of one “natural bonsai” as well. I am sorry for the poor sound quality, but we were working with the camera’s built-in mic and it was very windy up there. This is actually a re-edit of a video I uploaded and deleted, due to an editing problem with the original.

Bonsai

O femeie bãtrâna din China avea doua vase mari, pe care le atârna de cele douã capete ale unui bãt, si le cãra pe dupã gât. Un vas era crãpat, pe când celalalt era perfect si tot timpul aducea întreaga cantitate de apa.

La sfârsitul lungului drum ce ducea de la izvor pana acasã, vasul crãpat ajungea doar pe jumãtate.
Timp de doi ani, asta se întâmpla zilnic: femeia aducea doar un vas si jumãtate de apã. Bineînteles, vasul bun era mândru de realizãrile sale. Dar bietului vas crãpat îi era atât de rusine cu imperfecþiunea sa, si se simtea atât de rãu ca nu putea face decât jumãtate din munca pentru care fusese menit!

Dupã 2 ani de asa zisã nereusitã, dupã credea el, i-a vorbit într-o zi femeii lângã izvor: “Mã simt atât de rusinat, pentru ca aceastã crãpãturã face ca apa sa se scurgã pe tot drumul pânã acasã!”

Bãtrâna a zâmbit, “Ai observat ca pe partea ta a drumului sunt flori,
insã pe cealaltã nu?” “Asta pentru ca am stiut defectul tãu si am plantat
seminte de flori pe partea ta a potecii, si, in fiecare zi, în timp ce ne întoarcem, tu le uzi.”
“De doi ani culeg aceste flori si decorez masa cu ele. Dacã nu ai fi fost asa, n-ar mai exista aceste frumuseti care împrospãteazã casa.”

Fiecare dintre noi avem defectul nostru unic. Însa crãpãturile si defectele ne fac viata împreunã atât de interesantã si ne rãsplãtesc atât de mult! Trebuie sa luam fiecare persoanã asa este si sã cãutãm ce este bun in ea.

Morala: Crãpãtura vasului nu înseamnã sfârsitul, ci o posibilitate de a face ceva diferit!

bonsai seeds forced germination

Posted on August 28th, 2009 by Jon Brown in bonsai seeds | No Comments »

scarify the seeds by placing them in the glass/bowl of water….allow the water to reach the inner part of the seeds…it softened the hard shells of the seed….some seeds have harder shell….some seeds requires warm water specially the juniperus and pines seeds some seeds requires boiling water…ouch!ouch! after 24 to 48 hours of scarification discard the seeds that still floating theyre dead….now we will go to the next step of germinating the seeds by doing the so called stratification….see you on my next video……
