Subject: [IBC] How many of you hord/keep bonsai?

I gave away a small Ficus nerifolia today. It was in a yellow
Chinese pot about 8 x 5 x 3. The trunk was a little over one inch and the tree
was
8 to 10 inches high.
The husband of a coworker makes t shirts to commemorate Space
Shuttle launches and I have purchased leftovers cheap as gifts for relatives
when I travel. This time she said she wanted a bonsai in addition the money.
(The price she charges me is barely more that the cost of a good white t
shirt.)
When I took her the above tree she wouldn't take the money.
She spent all day talking about the tree.
It was a great feeling and she didn't realize how easy and
common the F. nerifolia is.
