The little cedar made it through the winter in its pot.  (I didn’t take a picture because it just doesn’t look any different.)

I have put another tiny (potential?) tree in a pot, though.  I was potting some cilantro for my sister-in-law yesterday and pulled a maple seed out of the dirt I was using.  The seed had a root and the beginnings of leaves.  The possibility of a maple bonsai flashed across my mind and I stuck the seed in a home of its own.

I haven’t removed the seed cover because I didn’t want to damage the new leaves. I hope to have something to work with, that I started myself, in a decade or so.

In the mean time, my father and I are going to a workshop at the Bonsai Learning Center in Mooresville on September 20.  I just realized it isn’t going to be at the Cary site.  Yay.  Mooresville is equidistant between us.  We need to figure something out about traveling.
