Over the last few years I have taken to raising bonsai trees. I currently have four residing in my bedroom, and I've found that raising them is definitely going to be a lifelong hobby of mine. It brings beauty to my life, it gives me a meditative act when I trim then, fertilize them, and give them their water. I find it to be relaxing, and it pulls me closer to nature. I love to nurture them, and train them so that they can look even more beautiful. It helps me think on the relationship between humans and nature, and what our roles are in living together, coexisting.
SO! I'm wondering if any of you lovely folks raise any interesting plants or trees! If so, I would love to see pictures! Let this be a thread about exotic plant care. :P

This little guy is Bert. He's been with me for about a year. He's a Ficus Bert (hence the really original name), and I will tell you, this tree does not die. In my early days of caring for him, he went through some rough spots, but he's back as strong as ever and is in his 3rd pot. (He grows fast!) He's definitely my favorite (but don't tell the others).
I'll put up some more pictures of my little guys later on. I look forward to seeing your little projects, too!
