The Enchanting World of Miniatures

Small is cute. Creating miniatures is one of the most interesting aspects about bonsai I love most.
These cute little bonsai are charming and easy to create.

Creating different styles

Creating miniatures is a hobby by itself. In fact it’s a collection hobby. There are so many different styles you can create. Even though it’s small there is no limit to your creations except to your iminagination. You can imitate the traditional styles such as formal, informal, cascading and so on. Or you can even create some fancy artistic styles.

You are a star, Mr Fly.

This cute little fly refuses to budge while I was photographing the mini pots. I guess it wants to be part of the scene. Well, here you are, Mr Fly, you are a star.

Micro bonsai

Wrightia is ideal for creating miniatures as the leaves are small. With restraining techniques it can be reduced even smaller to create micro bonsai. (less than 2 inches in height.)
