Spain's PM Asks For Support

Austerity yes, and growth, too, but I would also like to see a clear, forceful message of support for the euro and for the sustainability of the debt of all the countries where that is currently in doubt. - Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy

"ECB President Mario Draghi today said: “Our strong preference is that Greece will continue to stay in the euro area.” But he said the bank remained focused on its anti-inflation mandate, and “preserving the integrity of our balance sheet.” In other words, we’re not going to break our backs to keep Greece in the euro."

Hopefully this can all happen and avoid an absolute catastrophe of Greece leaving the EURO.

Calming Impact of Bonsai

I love this description of bonsai! Terrific.

"In this age that has so much slick art dominating the culture it’s nice to see imperfections. The bonsai is a living plant, it will never be absolutely perfect and it is forever growing and slowly changing. This is a very slow, methodical and thoughtful art form. I find peace and a feeling of zen when I have time to just sit back and admire these beautiful works of art. I was drawn in by all of them, whether the great redwood in miniature or the wabi sabi out of balance nature of the one that looked as if it was growing out of the discards from a giant egg. Serendipity played a hand in the timing of my visit as many of the deciduous varieties had yet to fully leaf out allowing the intricate design of their branches to be seen with just a hint of the color yet to come. It will come as no surprise that I have many bonsai trees in my own landscape.

Intro to Pruning

Bonsai Ginseng focuses on all facets of caring for and maintaining a bonsai of the ficus ginseng variety.

 

Pruning bonsai ginseng is a fairly basic process in which you begin pruning the bonsai in the early stages of its development. Given it is quite a hardy variety of bonsai you shouldn't be too concerned about pruning too much as the idea is to create what essentially is a miniature tree. One of the keys to pruning a bonsai ginseng is to look at other bonsai and perhaps try in the initial stages to replicate a similar plant.

 

I will have more on this over the next few weeks.
