Here is another old friend of a plant, gifted from brother Tim more than twenty years ago. This plant came to me as a start of a Wisteria and I decided to bonsai it. I have found it challenging as a bonsai but interesting as a potted plant. The plant only flowered one time in all those years. I just remember it had lavender flowers with a slight blue blush and a sweet fragrance. It has been at least ten years since that one flower spike appeared.

Here is how the plant’s trunk looks today. The rest of it is long, thin branches about three feet long.

And here is what the plant looks like when it is leafed out–you can see leaves both at the top and bottom of the photo.
