Bonsai
Do you know Bonsai? Actually I can’t explain Bonsai. So I check my English Dictionary.
A tree that is grown so that it always stays very small, or the art of growing trees in this way.
"Bonsai" is English like "Karaoke"?? I think Bonsai is miniature trees in pots. And we enjoy to see "Bonsai" which is one of hobbies. (It is not my hobby.)
This tree is Japanese apricot. We say “Ume”. When I take a walk near my apartment, I can find “Ume”.

Lucy please tell me the word 'bonsai' is in Japanese. It can't be English as 'karaoke' is also NOT an English word.
I have seen lots of real bonsai trees and they are real art. To keep them small yet looking like a big one, only in a small form - that must be very hard to achieve.

SzélsőFa,
Hello! Bonsai is Japanse. "Bon" means a pot. "Sai" means grow.
I have ever watched the American TV show. So American grew "Bonsai". I think "Bonsai" is not hobby for young peple in Japan.

My girlfriend and I grow bonsais, here in Sydney, Australia. We have an Australian tree, the morton bay fig, and a japanese maple but the maple died from the extreme heat. We are also in the middle of a drought.

Your english is very good! A few small errors, but still very good. Keep up the good work!

Robert,
Thank you for comments.
Japanse maple is very nice tree.
When it is fall, Japanese maple's leaves become red color.
I heard it is very very hot in Australia this year. Your country have lack of water...

By the way, my English no good. But readers of native English speaker are kind of my blog.
