It's been a while since I visited the Wanneroo Markets, there was a time I would go every Sunday morning to buy fresh flowers for the week. Fed up lately with the prices and the amount of fillers used in florist shop bunches I decided to head back and see if the flowers at the market were as good as remembered.. they were, I came home with a huge bunch of Ranunculus (no fillers) a certain sign that spring is almost here..
I couldn't leave without admiring the exquisite bonsai in Vina Horticulture, one of the best bonsai nurseries in Perth, seriously these shots do not do justice to these miniature creations. I have two bonsai at home, a pink Azalea and a native 'I'm not sure what'.. both have been in their same shallow bowl for over 25 years with no change of soil, just a bit of a shape up now and then, they survive on love.. it's a miracle :) If you have three minutes take a look at these beauties. Happy 'adopt a bonsai' Tuesday, take care...
These are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these!! I want one!! Beautiful captures, too! Hope your new week is off to a great start1
ReplyDeleteI love bonsai, but I'm not able to let them grow...!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing these, Grace!
I'm like Karl. I make them wilt and die ! :-( These are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRanunculus is quite a different story, I love them, enjoy!
25 years. That a lot of love. :-)
ReplyDeleteBonsai for Spring!
ReplyDeleteThey would become oak trees here in this rain! Bah!
I've had plants become bonsai out of neglect! ;-))

Oh boy, I haven't had fresh flowers for going on 3 weeks now. I think I need to get out there and get some!
ReplyDeletePS: Love the bonsai.
Up here in the mountains, I made it a point to get flowers every week...when the winter sets in and all you see is snow, a bit of color in the house really is a pick me up!!! Love when Spring starts down in SoCal...I've missed the Spring and am excited to get to experience it again!!!
ReplyDeleteThe bonsai are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm thrilled you took flowers into your own hand, so to speak

I'd love to adopt a bonsai!
ReplyDeleteLast time I saw a bonsai seller was on a deserted industrial street in downtown Los Angeles. It was after hours and he was selling them out of the back of a late model station wagon. I found the whole thing ironic - and amusing.
ReplyDeleteI love bonsai but they probably would not like me.
ReplyDeleteI love Bonsai, but only had one that didn't survive...Great pictures, I love looking at flower markets and nurseries, but wish I had "greener fingers"
ReplyDeleteI love bonsai! Your pictures are great. I think to enjoy the moment taking good care of plants is some perfect therapy, to be Zen!

What fabulous Markets Grace .... I could spend many hours and dollars!! while mozzying around there.
ReplyDeleteThere must have been many hours spent keeping those bonsai trees small. A real art of the green thumb.
ReplyDeleteNever tried my luck with bonsai.
ReplyDeleteI never liked the bonsai plants. Never something happens, they just stand there for ages without any changes. A plant must grow or have flowers so now and than in my opinion. But glad you enjoy your Bonsai, so don't mind my opinion.:)
ReplyDeleteI love going to these markets. Even if I don't buy anything.
ReplyDeleteBeautifull images.
ReplyDeleteThey SEEM so real.
ReplyDeleteMerveilleux bonsaïs, j'aime beaucoup ton post!
ReplyDeleteBelles photos,
Bonne journée- Cath
Beautiful! Aww, last time we were at the Wanneroo Markets was 2006, Grace! I bought an "Aussie"-t-shirt and when I wore it people gave me huge smiles. One lady even grabbed my arm and said, "awww, sweety, nice t-shirt", I´ll never forget that! :-) Thanks for the memory!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, ... "Bonsai"!
ReplyDeleteIn Japan, 'Bonsai' (making and maintaining the trees) is a popular hobby.
I enthused that hobby, but lost my small-containers by some happenings. (I'm sad ... now.)
Please take care your small-containers (pots or plates, = your trees) with love.
Good luck!!!
