baby trees!!..?

Ok, so they're really called bonsai trees, but baby tree is a) cuter and b) more descriptive (in my opinion, anyway). According to the ever-so-trusty Wikipedia, bonsai literally translates into "plantings in tray"--"bon"=tray; "sai"=planting(s). For more info on baby trees, click HERE!! MEMEMEMECLICKME!

Today, while chillen with with grandparents in sunny Florida, my gma and I ventured to the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens while my gpa took his 20th catnap of the day. I'm a big fan of botanical gardens to begin with, but this place was just amazing. It was extremely relaxing and therapeutic.

why are the Japanese so cool?!

I don't care who you are--your gender, age, profession, sexuality--purchase a bonsai tree. They have a great lifespan and don't require a lot of care like other plants. In times of boredom, sadness, and even euphoria you can stare at your little bonsai and contemplate it's existence...or something else really existential like that. Or you could also just think, "damn, this tree is the illest," and feel really good about yourself for owning one. 

so cayoooot!
