The Bonsai tree is a miniature piece of breathtaking natural scenery grown in a small pot. But it is completely different from the average potted plant.
Pine bonsai and maple bonsai are something much more than potted pine and maple. While the enjoyment of potted plants comes from taking pleasure in the beauty of the flowers, leaves, and fruits of plants, the marvel of the bonsai tree lies in the delight gained from recreating in miniature form of the shape of bonsai plants as seen in the natural world.
I. Love. Bonsais!
I wonder how big that maple tree actually is. The photo makes it look like the leaves are minuscule.
