1)The Flower show was OK- most of the vendors were mallsai dealers,

Yep. I saw a Kingsville boxwood the same size as one of mine, and
looking just as good, priced at $1000. $200-300, sure. Not that much
though.

I got the impression, from the 15 minutes I hung
out at the Rosade exhibit, that the staff there were working overtime
stamping out misinformation.

We didn't have much interaction with the staff except for a
conversation with Chase Rosade and a brief disagreement with one staff
person about whether or not you can wire succulents. He said no, I
said yes. Can't comment on the rest.

4) Someone in the Philippines just asked me for care instructions for
Pemphis acidula, a mangrove species. I know absolutely nothing about
them. Anyone know a Philippines bonsai club I can send him to?

Budi is the man. Also Robert Steven.

5)I picked up one of those begonias that make thick trunks and are used
as "bonsai". It's pretty cool. People who will want cuttings from
mine [*cough*Anita*cough*]better start being nice to me starting now.


I want one too!
