My Desk

Sitting at my desk today I realized that I have slowly accumulated A LOT of plants. It is almost as if a small garden is sprouting around my computer and will eventually engulf my work space. I think I would be OK with that. :)

The newest addition to my desk garden is the Camellia Bonsai that Simon gave me for my birthday! I have only seen this plant as a tree in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden so I was very surprised to see it in miniature, bonsai-scale. 

I have never owned a bonsai before. They require a lot of pruning and vigilant care so I hope that I can keep up with its high maintenance. It will bloom all winter and, come spring, should be pruned and then placed outside in the shade.

Thanks Simon!
