Excuse me for my ignorance, to me the first picture looks like 3 sticks in a pot. Surely to be called Bonsai, it must have some sort of structure and look like a tree
if I am wrong, I am sorry.

It's pretty hard to get structure and ramification into a teeny tiny mame bonsai. I think they're cute. Well done keeping them alive in tiny pots!

Timi (?) sometimes it is difficult to appreciate the mame without a scale to refer to.
The negative responses received I am sure are due to the fact that we cannot see jut how small they are.
Can we get some scale here, I know they're small, but how small?,
Well done
Watty

They look more like Shohin Size to me rather than mame, but nice anyway

As has been said, hard to get get shape and work in tiny trees but can be done. Just takes time and patience and dedication.
At the momnet I would call them kusamono rather Bonsai

I use a double A battery as my guide for size it is a standard size, though out the world, unlike Coke cans and coins.
