Bonsai!
I toured the Brooklyn Botanical Garden for the first time a couple of weeks ago. In particular, I enjoyed visiting the C.V. Starr Bonsai Museum. As a child, I had a brief obsession with bonsai (right before my more entrepreneurial interest in breeding bronze catfish [Corydoras aeneus]). Something in the idea of molding a living creature into an aesthetic form through the rigorous application of control appealed to me then. However, while observing these dwarfed, twisted, and aged plants at the Bonsai Museum, I could only think, “What will happen when we discover plant consciousness and must train bonsai psychoanalysists?”
(As shown in this last photograph, the Bonsai Museum inexplicably includes a specimen of Black Mondo Grass [Ophiopogon planiscapus arabicus])

My Bonsai site…
My poor Serissa. It looks so great at the greenhouse that I bought it from. It looks like a nice little tree and bark looks aged despite it not being that old. But the wonderful healthy appearance in its wonderful bonsai pot didn’t last long when I go…
