Trends Reviews and Recaps

I mentioned here once that I kill plants -- and bonsai trees -- with alarming ease and frequency. (“100 Things About Me.” See numbers 59 through 61.)

At one time I had 12 bonsai. I now have one.

Actually, the remaining bonsai is what’s called “a grove,” meaning there are several trees growing in the same pot, in this case three.

They’re quite beautiful.

They’re also, I’m ashamed to say, desperately clinging to life.

I was thinking today that it’s one thing to kill a plant, but it’s another thing entirely to kill a bonsai. After all, they aren’t plants, they’re trees.

I’m a tree killer.

I kill trees.

I’m a horrible person.
