And while $45.95 for this may seem a bit much, do note it does include the bow.

I'm laughing at the advertisement Auk posted and his comments on the ad. NOT the person who started the post. I don't like to laugh at people who want to get involved in Bonsai but have a slightly innocent view of the art.
So... I'm laughing very hard.

Interesting... the exact same plant (it's the same photo) for $29,95:

"any tree species can be used to grow one(Bonsai)". Stated on this website. Wow all I wanted to know is the type of plant this is. Obviously it's not a bonsai right now. I thought this was a forum where someone could come to get help..... I'll be finding another forum. Thanks.

if I came to this site with a plant that I thought was a Bonsai, and found out that it wasn't, I would find a site that could tell me what it was. Then I would go take a class, do some readings, join a club and contribute to this forum from my own personal experience, so that I could help others who started the way I did.
