"Heres a look at Quackers now. As you can see, hes developing a nice thick trunk and a beautiful canopy"
lol!
You know you totally have to use that line next time you have Quakers on camera as shout out to Nate now, right? Lol
I must be ripening with age...watching someone show off their non-specific rock collection isn't something I would have spent time on 10 yrs ago. Watching this has me feelin' fine.
1:19 is the best smile ever! It looks like the best birthday gift of them all. I love how you describe them all as "really cool", and we are all nodding along with you.
Thanks Rebecca!!!
At 63 I've never lost the 'little boy' in me coming home with pockets full of rocks. Rock collecting has led to learning local geology and using local rocks, roots, driftwood harmonize the bonsai to the area.
I wonder if anyone living nearby has noticed that there's never any moss on the sidewalks near Nigel's house.
Funny how that is, lol!
The simple things in life bring joy...even a rock. I love all your knowledge, on so many subjects and that you share the real you. Great job as always.
A rock full of benches lol glad you put that in at the end, great plantings should do well in the bonsai zone
Never any shortage of bloopers with me!
I love how much you appreciate things l in e your rocks! I love them too, and people think I’m a little odd for it sometimes!!
Thanks Barb, I've always got my eye out for cool rocks, glad I'm not the only one!!
Love the rocks, Nigel. Love that you have a special spot for them.
I do enjoy the grass planting, I love the small rock and moss planting! Excellent!
Hi Nigel!! Love those rocks. Some of them remind me of Elephant skin rocks used in aquariums. One thing that my favorite aquarium artist suggests when using them, is to try to match the primary direction of the major cracks for a more pleasing result. I think that would be true for Bonsai accent plantings as well.
Another different idea, which you probably thought of as well, is to use fine sand and a forked Zen pattern around the rock for an accent planting.
Oh, another thought just popped up. One of the 'weeds' I have growing in my yard looks a lot like the grasses you just potted up. The difference is that the tallest that I've seen them grow is maybe 3". How cool that would look to have one of those planted in the same pot next to one of your majestic looking little/medium rocks!!
As always Nigel, thank you for sharing all you do!! Especially when you have a rockfull of tables!! That's not something you get to see very often. 8-)
Thanks Lenee, awesome comment!
I'm so happy to see the Baobab success.
Yes, I hope I can keep them alive over the many years ahead!!
Kudos, Nigel, that moss and rock planting in its simplicity is breathtaking. Quackers is looking handsome as always, and it seems like those aeoniums are perking up nicely! Their parent plant has also perked up considerably this month too, I've given it more frequent watering and a small fertilising and the surviving growth has begun to explode! I hope to obtain some form of bonsai pot soon, but for now I'll focus on making a super draining bonsai mix for my portulacarias and get some vigor in them! We'll done again, mate!

"I got a rock full of benches" haha me asf
Lucky I caught that one!
I really like your work, combination of nature and art.
Thank you very much!
Love the new video!!! Keep it up, my collection was inspired by this channel
That's awesome!
Rock envy. Keep growing. Thanks
Thanks Matt, lots of rain today and tomorrow, the rocks should be looking very green!
A rock full of benches? Well, doesn't this sound interesting!
The little rock planting looks great. I always liked the rock/moss gardens in Japan.
I see Stefan's influence in these small compositions!
So enjoyed this video. Thanks for including the nugget at the end - loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
/ so Loved the Rocks,lots of wonderfull tiny worlds. Rock full of Benchers
Those giant sequoia seedings are looking great! i get to take mine out of the fridge in three days!
A true Master at work.
Thanks Carl, it was a fun day!
Hello friends! Everyone have a good time exchanging bonsai
Yes, thank you!!!
Awesome and thank you artist for the inspiration, thank you!
That's a beautiful rock planting!
If anyone can grow a rock, it’s you, Nigel.
Accent composition looks great Nigel! These ARE some nice rocks!
Thanks Xin, I was just out in the rain to see what the rocks are looking like! All looks good!
@@TheBonsaiZone I also just went outside to check on my trees, rain has stopped in Ajax, all also looks good!
great video Nigel, perfect mix of everything
Thanks James!!!!
Definitely neat little accent plantings!
A rock full of benches? Oh my stars! Love it!
I never thought I would see you painting rocks Nigel, but I love the rocks you foraged. I was laughing as you did show and tell with each rock as you were moving them off your table, but I kept thinking, I love this one, it's my favorite. No, I like this one better, and so on and so forth. These rock are so cool! They have so much character. Really love the little rock planting. It's perfection!
Lisa
Thanks Lisa, I can't wait to start using the rocks in my landscapes!
@@TheBonsaiZone Yes, I am looking forward to it as well!
Great work Nigel, the penjing and the grass look super. Also, I always appreciate seeing your Acacia-style Serissa, it has been my favourite of your trees since many years ago!
Thanks Dave, a Serissa video coming up!
Each of them of rocks just like the single art, super love them^^ . And couldn't say how much thank you sir.!!
Thanks Cherie, keep up the good work with your videos, they are very inspirational!
@@TheBonsaiZone Thank you and will fallow your step but still far far away from you lol ^^ your moss work today, it's really a master piece!!
I love that little planting you made
Looks great
I'd love to see a tutorial on how you did the cracked glaze paint job one day Nigel! That would be lovely!
Here is the video!

@@TheBonsaiZone Thanks so much Nigel. I must have missed this one. I think you did a stunning job with the finishing of that pot and it looks better than some ceramics I've seen.
Ace. Very inspirational.
Thanks PP!
Thanks, Nigel!
That rock planting is simply stunning, beautiful composition
I went to goodwill on a pot hunt today. Came home with 9 candidates including what I think would have been a Chinese style cascade pot, but for no drain hole, and... AND a super pale blue tall square, flared vase, that looks AMAZING with my hibiscus, I cant wait to drill it out.
I love the rock planting must have a go at an accent planting I have some pots that are Bit small so I will have a go at both rocks and grasses.
New hair style looks nice 👍👍👍
Thanks!!
I really really really would love to have a small moss garden! So sweet!
Summer do looks cool!
Thanks Aija, you'll have to plant one!
Nigel, I LOVED your rock commentary in the beginning, and your final product looks amazing! Well done!
Thanks Cat Becket!
Thanks for the channel recommendations!
Great channels, we can learn from everyone!
4:30 is the ultimate Simba rock 🦁
Yes indeed!!!
I had a very small kusomono using blue fescue in a muted burgundy pot that was absolutely stunning. I still have the pot. Perhaps I should fill it again with the blue fescue.
I printed your pot a while back! I'm still trying to decide what to do with it as well. Thanks for the inspiration now!
Awesome Brock!
Cool rocks and great moss forming on them. Super collection. The grassy field for an accent plant with the added rocks show off the grass in a nice looking form. The moss planting you did was super cool. Really a great looking accent planting.
Thanks Tom, the gloves came yesterday, they look really good. I'll put them on next time I'm handling a poisonous species!
@@TheBonsaiZone Also wear them for the chemicals you use so that your skin does not absorb the paint, etc. I hope they fit. Take care.
hi pinkshed brenda from australia just watched accent and penjing streem as its to cold and wet outside 15 c hard to grow moss here in s.a. so i use fish tank gravel around my rocks in the little pots i was so inspired by your town penjing i went to pottery class and made an australian house ruin with the outside dunny and the old water tank i planted two multy trunked australian figs and ground covers looks good thanks for all your good streem
Wow, that sounds awesome Brenda, I'd love to see a picture! You can email me here...
thekwbonsaisociety@gmail.com
Thanks Brenda!
Nice! I like it!
Nigel! You could be in real danger. Those rocks look suspiciously like the rock monsters from Never-ending Story. Maybe you should cover the rock pallet with heavy gauge wire so they can’t transform.. You should also probably have Neytari stand watch as well.
I'll be careful, you never know what watering the rocks might do too!
@@TheBonsaiZone Don't feed them after midnight... haha
Perfect timing to ask them to airlayer some hard to reach high up branches!! LOL! Love those 3d printed pots!
I enjoy the rock plantations! Very cute and calming
good luck with your baobab bonsai :) I propogated 4 seedlings here in Alberta.
All 4 of them succumbed to spider mites + probably improper care.
however!!! 1 of the 4 Baobabs came back to life after 9+ months of ZERO water and minimal light.
can you believe that. I call it my Zombie Tree, and it is now my prized bonsai which is flourishing with growth this season.
Amazing and a good name for the tree, thanks Mnmist!
woooow....very good.....
Thank you so much 😀
It's Quackers the little youtube star! What a cutie :) Thanks for sharing this video with us, those rocks are so beautiful. Your new moss garden is already looking lovely too! Really beautiful growth already this year in the Zone!
Thanks Athela!
1:51 "she's a butte" LOL!!!
Love the rocks in the grass planting!
Thanks Elisabeth, the Sequoia's are doing well so far!
My old cat found your video very entertaining. I did too. Thanks Nigel.
Glad you enjoyed it N!
Today I am surprised that I have followed you long enough to appreciate how the Serissa trunk has thickened!
Scary isn't it, time flies when you are having fun!
@@TheBonsaiZone Definitely! I think, in the times of immediacy, we should name this "slow fun".
As I say in Spain "el tiempo, moscas" :-P
Nice Chignon Nigel!
Thanks, good to get the hair cut!
Hi Nigel the rocks are amazing don't even get rocks like them in Scotland
Love your rock planting Nigel 😍 These pieces always make me think of my favourite author Terry Pratchett and his monk Lu Tze who tends the Bonsai Mountains in the monastery garden, perfect miniature mountains with lakes, waterfalls, flora and fauna xx
Thanks Becki, some really nice rocks in the area, glad we got a car load!
I was sure I subscribed to you, I checked your channel and found I was unsubscribed and have missed a lot of videos!
"I got a Rock full of Benches." LoL
I was reviewing the clip to see if the audio was good, luckily I caught my blooper and could re do it!
Don't ever change, man lol
That grass has a better pot than most of my trees hahahaha
And many of mine too!
Like what you did with the accent plant. Nice to see Quackers. Will he ever become accustomed to the other ducks? Love that little plastic printed pot. Wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't ceramic, except that you told us. You did a really great job with the crackle finish. Like what you did with the rock/moss in the little pot. Enjoyed watching this video.
Thanks Pat, the other ducks are getting used to him now!
Nice rock!
It's the Suiseki zone!
Yes, the hilltop one might be my first viewing stone!
Yo tan bien tengo mis paisajes en miniatura y se ven geniales.....👍👍
One clump of grass behind the rock pot would have looked good!
The half of Canada is on that table. Hahaha. Now i know why the Canadian lakes are so big.
Lol!
The big first rock would look good with a spruce on top resembling a cliff
Yes, it has a really rugged mountain top look to it!
Thought it was gonna be a full 30 mins of rock showcase ahah !
They are really nice rocks though i don't have them like that near where I look, looks like they were made by a professional prop artist! But al natural :)
Looking good!
I just started a micro mimosa over rock planting after you started showing all your rocks. I got jealous!
Sounds good Connor!!!
is a micro mimosa the same as mimosa pudica or is it a smaller variety?
@@ellejayn by micro i really just mean like extra small size wise. It's only a few inches tall
@@CoNkOrE ok good. I have some mimosa seeds I plan to start for bonsai and just had to make sure I wasn't missing out on an even smaller type, lol
I love your rocks. Fant find rocks like that Around here. Especially like the tpose one. So cool!
Thanks Chris, yes good rocks are hard to find, I had to travel quite far to find these!
@@TheBonsaiZone Im on the constant lookout for Nice landscape rocks and viewing Stones. LETS hope this is The summer i find a few
Grass may be my limit i Will look at all plants but Looking at Grass grow may be my limit
I still watching my rocks!
Giving birth to little Bab. Cheers mate
Thanks Sam, cheers!
Nice video. Yes with the stones: if you have the choice, you are spoiled for choice :-) Greetings also to "mother duck" Laura.
Thank you! 😃 I will tell her you say Hi!
Amazing rock collection! I'd love to get some to scape a large aquarium. Did you find them at a nursery or wild collected?
Nigel I just followed your cherry chi link and I need you to translate for me🤣
She usually has the translation in the comment section!
Interesting and very cool
Thanks Captain!
Yaaaas!
Yooos!
do it video on your wiping willow please.
thank you.
Salutations to Lady Laura's Quackers!
Hey Nigel I love the rock planting I hope there is enough room for them to grow. The paint job on that pot is fantastic. How did you do it is there a video?
"I've got a rock full of benches" oops 😅.
Yes, there is a video, here is the link....
th-cam.com/video/r0CQ9MSaONs/w-d-xo.html
@@TheBonsaiZone Thanks I will watch it.
@3:25 Nice rock.. Also like the pyramid which looks like it has the all seeing eye and the fallen pillar lookn rock..(had them next to each other in 1st vid), Im thinkn those 3 willl look good as an Indiana Jones fallen temple theme...
Awesome, my kind of thinking!!!!
Trust the brain! While I can't say any of mine are near as nice as yours are, as long as you follow your brain you will end up with something at least pleasing to you if no one else. As soon as I can move my plants out in spring, please do rate my bonsai! I'd really like to hear what you would do with them.
Haven't seen your willows lately. Could you do an update on them? Thanks
Most of my Willows died from the winter, but I do have a few in development, I'll be making a video soon!
Bagus
Stay aware of the grass seeds, it may become invasive.
Thanks Nurhasan!
I love how your eyeholes gravitate towards what your brain already knows is perfect. My brain does the same thing.
Thanks Seiyuokami!!!
Yessss....
Yuuuus
I think the rocks lay down the way they were look like the giant causeway in Ireland ...
Cool Michael!
i might have missed that - where did these rocks come from?
One of the rock looks alike rhino horn 😂😂
Like how you shout out other channels
There are some really good channels out there, I enjoy watching them all!
@@TheBonsaiZone Like how you commented on Australian Bloke. Like him a lot too.
Can we see an update on the mini ficus religiosa?
Yes, it is doing really well!
@@TheBonsaiZone great!
Hi Nigel, do viewing stones work in the same manor as an accent plant?
One question: those rocks will last a long time. Those cracks will end breaking the rock in pieces?
I'm hoping they last a long while, I think they'll do OK, if a piece cracks off, I can always repair it with some cement.
Could aquascaping be in your future?
I love it, but I wouldn't have time with all my bonsai!
Could you make a video about moss?
I have one somewhere !!
the rock around 27:27 was perfect for me. Why u kept saying it was too big everytime you had a nice rock, i don't understand. The final result was kinda dissapointing with two small insignificant stones and a bunch of moss
