Phil, no I didn't tie the root down. It is getting too big for the pot, next year I will transfer it to another bigger pot.

Ah right gotcha :-) I do like bonsai pots but find them very expensive here is the UK

Oh Marie, yet another one to tease me with! Stunning...as usual, thanks for sharing.

I too was wondering how they stabilise themselves Phil, it doesn't look possible does it? Expensive bonsai pots, yes they are expensive and elusive too. Garden centres are only place I've seen any, and we all know how expensive they can be!

Too true Gill. I am a fan of Bonsai although don't own any, but there is a chap called John Hanby (I think) who teaches bonsai techniques at his bonsai garden centre where you can buy trees, pots, everything bonsai, but the prices are premium :-(

Marie, I've always loved this one, and your Hassadee Red.

This one is stunning all around, the bloom, the caudex. And you can send that bonsai pot to me since she has outgrown it, Marie ;)

Marie, beautiful plant and gorgeous color...what a.sight to behold...

Marie, Tee Tar is beautiful. I am impressed with how vivid red the flowers are. These plants surely provide such satisfaction...Blooms and when not in bloom unique beautiful caudex. Great plants. Thank you for sharing such lovely photos.

Marie,

Great looking plant!

Are your COT blooming too?

Lonnie

Lonnie, only few of my COT are blooming right now. Most of them are not in full sun since I save all sun spots for DR. COT likes cooler weather, so I hope they will be in bloom soon.
