I decided the other day to get a plant for our living room. I really enjoy growing things and I thought it would help to make our living space look a little more homely. So when we were shopping today I had a look in the garden section. There were lots of pretty flowering plants but my lovely other half spotted that they were selling little bonsai trees. I have been tempted to buy a bonsai on several occassions, I'm not entirely sure why but I do love trees and the countryside and perhaps growing a miniture tree in my living room is my little bit of countryside! So I bought one. The packaging however was a little less than helpful as it doesn't tell me what variety it is but perhaps one of you out there will know.
