I have a nice little "maple forest" in a bonsai pot. I decided not to buy and kill anymore lovely bonsai-ed plants so I grew my own by collecting maple seedlings (I get millions each spring) and planting them in a bonsai dish. It has been about 4 or 5 years nows and they are just beautiful. I followed the instructions to cut each leaf in half in the spring - an interesting zen like thing - and eventually the leaves became smaller... I will need to put it in a larger pot next year. This pot is about 9" long. I still have to cut a few leaves that still want to grow big. But hey! This is free bonsai!

I had never heard of kusa mono - grass - bonsai!
