writes: How I wish I lived in area where there was more than one bonsai club, and those that are in it actually know about bonsai. Honestly, sitting here, reading post I can learn more than visiting the local club. Although local clubs do vary in quality, affiliation is a powerful thing. It can open doors such as tours that are not otherwise available. It also depends upon how you learn. I find that the IBC is great and books/magazines also help, but seeing and touching hands on is better. Give the local club a few more chances. Hopefully they do more that critique each others trees. As far as conflicting horticultural advise is concerned, it is not limited to Bonsai. I never say never (or very seldom anyway) because as soon as you do, you will find someone who has done it. Regardless of all the learning, formal or otherwise, horticulture and bonsai come down to you and how you do it. BTW, blue pots are popular with Malsai growers, but traditionally a glazed, colored pot is only used to display a flowering Bonsai when in flower and the pot color should compliment the flower color.
