[IBC] **** [IBC] Dandelions as bonsai - was Dormancy for Kingswood Yardsai
Seriously... when you say bonsai dandelion, what do you mean.... just a potted plant? do you train the stem? leaf reduction? Any pictures? They're fairly common as companion plants around here. I leave mine in what little lawn I have. They're green. Like grass. (Semi-rant) Lawns have to be one of the more diabolical inventions exported to this country by the British. I can NOT imagine why people put such time, effort, and money into something as artificial and high-maintenance as a lawn. Nor can I understand why people fertilize lawns then hire an expensive, agricultural- and horticultural-illiterate person to come every week to cut the grass they just put fertilizer on so it would grow fast! And if you're ever in Arizona . . . take a look at all the idiots who moved there from Pennsylvania and who are trying to have a lawn "just like home." (Many AZ communities have mandated Xeriscape (TM) landscapes because of the immense water usage required for a green lawn in the desert.)

Let's not forget those who moved there to get away from their allergies..... And then brought in all the trees they were allergic to! While I have a great deal of sympathy for the victims of the California fires, don't get me started on my feelings about the soutern california ecosystem! ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Lisa Kanis++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Nothing really wrong with the SoCal ecosystem (except years of fire suppression and a bunch of eejits who insist on building wooden buildings in the midst of a fire-dependent ecosystem). I suppose I'm sympathetic to their misery -- if not to their common sense.
