I would love to be the proud owner of this beautiful Azalea bonsai, but for some reason, flowers are proving impossible to get in my collection. I do have the white azalea, but it has never looked as good as this. I am reading up on the techniques needed before frustration drives me crazy!

This amazing specimen is a pink Hawthorn. I have had one of these for several years now, a present that had flowers when I received it, but has never flowered again.

This is my Hawthorn sans flowers. It is a strong, healthy tree, fed and watered well, so I have no idea why it refuses to bloom.

I also have a crab apple that has never bloomed. Hopefully, my studying will enlighten me…

If I learn the secret, I will share it with you…

  1. They are beautiful. I can’t help you on the non blooming because I have the same wondering why my perfectly healthy, with brank new green leaves, orchid, isn’t even showing a sign of a bloom. :)

    1. I am on the case, and there had better be a good reason, one we can fix!

      1. I await! :)

  2. Do you thig some pollination is needed? Do bees have access to your flowering plants?

    1. I would run around myself with cotton wool, John, but they don’t produce flowers. That’s what I need to learn about…

      1. You will become an expert then. 😊

        1. I just know it’s something I’m doing wrong. I mean, they flower all by themselves in the wild…

          1. I wish I could help but I don’t know enough.

  3. That pink hawthorn bonsai is gorgeous. I like it better than the azalea, whose flowers seem too big for the plant. I hope you do manage to coax some blooms from yours!

    1. It won’t be for the want of trying, Audrey!

      1. I’m sure it won’t! :-)

  4. Beautiful!

    1. Thank you, Susi…

      1. You’re very welcome! :)

  5. Grew an orange tree from a pip. That grew and was healthy for about seven or eight years. That never bloomed, either.
