Thursday evenings, rainy day, last Tuesday left with Mario (Vincent and me) to go for a coffee at his house in Soller where the back has a small patio with its collection of Bonsai, is the second time I visit the site and never ceases to amaze me the amount of small size bonsai you have, all derived from cuttings or seed. The most surprising is that for each Mario has its history and others would have projected a future any of us or at least I would not start work starting from seed, they immediately think how many years you're going to have to spend, well one day many years ago about 25 or so I lived in a cove of the smallest de Mallorca north of the island, Cala Murta, visit the homes of the property and calling the owner a man of 82 years I found him walking down the mountain behind the house, was holding a bag of pine cones, my surprise when I ask:
"Don Ignacio, who is doing for his age is up you can not see fall?
answered me:
not you see I'm shredding cones for the birth Pinos.
At his age begins to sow pine seeds, do not see that is not going to see and grow! I said.
what I said
If you're right I may not see them grow, but if my father had thought of your cone, I could not now enjoy the beautiful pine trees I have in front of the house.
So it's never too late to start something, others already ended, as we all enjoy.
