Well, my collected plants are doing very well. However, some of them are not what I thought they were when I dug them up and potted them.

I was so pleased to find a grape vine that was small enough to dig, while being of a sufficient diameter to make a show. It had no leaves ,of course, when I dug it in January, but what else could it be? It sat in its pot for four months with no sign of back buds, then in late April I saw tiny nubs of green.

I have been away from home for five days and have come home to rampant growth on my 'grapevine', which now appears to be a Gelsemium sempervirens with a one inch diameter trunk. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to train a Gelsemium bonsai?
