Well it’s not an Oscar, but I’ll take a Mouscar any day!  For the past 8 years I have been part of the BSF-Epcot Committee for the selection and dipslaying of Bonsai in the Japanese Pavillion at Epcot.   Also for the past 3 years I have been the Chairman of the committee.  As part of this event, WDW gives out plaques, trophies, etc in appreciation of our participation.  However this year they out did themselves!

It’s no secret that I adore Disney, and to be able to combine my love for Bonsai with WDW is just awesome. Thanks Mickey!

This weekend I was at a friends house who said that they were looking to have some plants removed from their yard.  One tree in paricular attracted my attention.  This well established Gardenia was a great treasure to come across.
