"Hectic" would be my choice Pup. "Fully sick" is just acceptable. Whats a "dooper"? :S

Hi everyone,

just happened to glimpse a bonsai on the television last night.

A black and white advert for a bank.

Which Bank ...........?!!

Tree looked like a chinese elm, in a large rectangle pot being cradled in a persons arms.

Did anyone else happen to spot it as well ?


Regards,


Paul

This photo of karesansui was taken inside a day spa, part of the Casino we were working at. Inspiration for my backyard!

Movie- Sleeping Beauty - Bonsai photo

Post by DavidN »

Just saw a pic of a new movie called Sleeping Beauty coming out and if you look past the scantly clad girl in the middle you will notice bonsai in the background. The pic appears on the Age website.
