In Orlando our weather ranges from the 60′s – 80′s during the day and 40′s – 50′s at night. So most of the time it just feels like a really nice Spring day. However it is officially Fall so I thought I’d take a look at the trees for some evidence.


According to my Bougainvillea it is Spring time and time to flower. The poor thing is a little confused because of our warm weather.


The Crossostephium Sinesis isn’t doing much better and has manage to put out one more flower for the year. Not a very exciting bloom, but still interesting to see.


The Bald Cypress has figured it out and is ready for next year all ready. It has pretty much lost all of its leaves but have a few branches with bud loaded and ready to pop next Spring.


However there is no fooling my Trident Maples. They know it is Fall and time to drop their leaves to prepare for next Sping. This is an exciting and active time in Bonsai because most of the wiring and styling happens while these trees are dormant. Fall colors in Orlando are usually pretty boring so I chose to show this picture in Black and White.

Wow! This tree has been so wonderful to work with, and so rewarding. The past two weeks this tree has put out another batch of flowers while the rest of my collection begins to prepare for dormancy in a few months. I think it is just showing off. In any case I knew I had to get some pictures now to submit for consideration for next year’s Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. In my opionion this tree is ready and will look great on display.

This is what the tree looks like today. In a short period this tree has come a long way, but still a long way to go. In the Spring I will defoliate the tree, rewire, and maybe repot the tree. It is very healthy and doing very well. Jan 2008
