Meanwhile, I think I am close to identifying the unusual, quite attractive #Eucalyptus that I believe was planted by mistake at the train station carpark: E.viridis seems like a probable candidate.
I have attempted to take cuttings from said #Eucalyptus, but they have failed thus far. I'm pleased to see flower buds forming, so I might be able to collect seed in a year or so...
Yes: I'm back on my (very) old bullshit of trying to make #bonsai from #Eucalyptus species... This time around, I'm trying to limit myself to species I *know* will accept my direction and encouragement (E camaldulensis (River Red Gum), for example), but there's no end to the pretty distractions...

Starting #bonsai from seedlings/cuttings at *my* age, in *this* political -- and *actual* -- climate?

LOL

It's been a while since I did the school drop-off, and in my absence, the Euc in question has begun to put on flower buds. Just another little clue along the road to a positive #plantID.
