My pride, and first self-made bonsai

This is my pride, i bought a small plant from the garden center, a Chamaecyparis pisifera 'baby blue' for about €6,- (dollar is about the same) and shaped it into a small bonsai tree myself. It turned out very beautiful if i may so so myself.

This is the plant i bought on February 25th 2019 and after removing the soil and exposing it's branches a bit by trimming away the redundant foliage a bit to see what i actually got.




After potting and and trimming it a bit more i wired it 2 days later, the wiring is absolutely horrible, i know, it was my first time...






Meanwhile i kept it in shape a bit, and after 2 months i removed the wiring to see if it had worked already (i don't have the patience that you actually need for bonsai apparently ;))
Most of it had turned out perfectly, there where only two branches i rewired to adjust their location a little more.

to be continued...
