Garden Update

I have made several home moves recently so I thought a good start would be to show my current garden.

Here is my prized specimens displayed as best I can on some a reclaimed sawhorse & pallet such is my style.

As you can see I've added some bonsai to my collection. Trees will become one of the obsessions I am yet to fully indulge myself in so far, so I feel these bonsai will keep me satisfied for the moment.

I have had the Spruce for many months now and it is thriving beautifully.

The second bonsai is a New Zealand native Kowhai or Sophora microphaylla. This beautiful guy will produce some lovely yellow flowers sometime soon!

Interestingly Kowhai bark was used as a medicine by the native Maori, being used to treat wounds and burns. It was said to heal seal bites in days! No note to any modern use.
