August is always a weird month for bonsai. Trees are tired, Most have completed their growth process and just sit there. Well, not quiet but you know what I mean. Too late for some actions and too early for others. So I sit back and watch, refine tropical trees, build the last of the cuttings of the year and trim off tired leaves. Here are a few of my muses for the month.

Below you will see my transformed Ivy, a full Ficus Benjamina, Ficus Mircrocarpa, my top self bonsai in the early morning. me delivering a present to a friend, my repotted olive clump and a surprise flower.
