In this neck of the woods it has been a very mild winter so far and I think this has encouraged some of the bonsai to put on an early display.
This Rosemary will be in full flower in a few weeks I think, but just in case the weather turns foul, here is a photo. It is always nice to see flowers, but in mid winter it is a real treat

Re: Mid-winter Flowering
Thank you. I find rosemary one of the most difficult plants to bonsai. You need to be on your guard all the time.

Re: Mid-winter Flowering
I was going to ask you that very question, I took one out of the garden last year. I did not remove any o the soil surrounding the root ball as I had read they can be touchy about being disturbed to much.
I am planning to try and reduce the roots in spring and introduce some different substrate but don't know how much of a change it will tolerate.
Peter.

Re: Mid-winter Flowering
Post repotting time appears to be the most stressful, both for the tree and the owner. I find that they are very sensitive to root disturbance but that is probably because I am yet to discover the optimal time for that activity.

Lovely little tree and photo 
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
