Quarantine for what? Canadian trees? Reiner's? John B's?

Yes.

We have been identified by the Department of Internal Security (founded
in 1984 by one G. O.) as subversive bonsai growers. And that even though
not a single one of our trees is planted in a pinko pot! Although some
are in brown pots. ;-)

Geez, it's really difficult to stay away from controversial colours. ;-)

In my defense, I can say that I have (or had) a (one) red pot, several
pots that could pass for white, and lots that are blue. ;-) But that
don't seem to count for nothing. ;-))

Here's the hot scoop on pots (please pass this news on to Reiner):
Pink is the new blue. I was told by a pot dealer that pink is very
popular now in Japan, but wasn't selling very well in the US.

Isn't Reiner there?

No. He is slugging it out in TO against voracious Canadian mosquitoes,
not to mention our al-Qaida microbes. ;-)

Nina, who bought a pot of pale salmon pink and is very happy with it.

A little pot, I assume?

One would hope. ;-) A _big_ pink pot might attract the attention of the
Department of Internal Insecurity.
