Bonsai (collected, saplings etc)

Little Ash Sapling


One of the things I am going to try is bonsai this year.  I got interested a few years ago but I didn't carry on and one of the things I did was to put an Ash sapling into a pot.  It was growing in a friends garden and it is four years old now but I hadn't done anything with it until recently.   I went to a Bonsai display at a local village hall and it got my interest going again and then I found this lovely bonsai forum where you can get lots of help.  I love to garden but I guess I was just scared to touch this little sapling in case I killed it. Here it is:-

Little Lonicera

This small tree was collected when it's owner was putting up a fence and it got in the way. Lucky for me.......... this one is coming along nicely too.

This is the winter image for this small tree.  Can't wait for the wonderful flowers again in the spring. ...... so so pretty.

Not sure what I am doing yet with the small pyracantha but just enjoying the orange berries at the moment.
