I have purchased 8 to 10 plants on eBay in the two last months
as I
began exploring this world of bonsai. I have been extremely
pleased with
all but this plant. The pricing and the packing and shipping of
these
plants have been very good. There has been some obvious travel
shock on
some of the plans but they have rebounded nicely. And there
was no way
I could have purchased locally (only junipers sold on the
street corner)
the variety of beautiful plants I've bot from competent and
helpful
vendors on eBay.

Thanks again for all the great assistance. As I study and
learn how to
care for these beautiful plants I'm sure I'll need more help
and you all
are a great group to ask.

Surely, there are nurseries selling plants (including tropicals)
in Amarillo -- not just street-corner bonsai. You will _always_
get better quality (health and vigor), and larger, plants locally
for less money, especially after shipping costs are added. And
if these plants aren't "bonsai" to start with, you can at least
have the honor (delight!) of creating your _own_ starting shape
for your tree. Even Home Depot and Wal-Mart will have
better-quality stock than e-bay -- and that's saying a lot (for
me).
