I saw the gardenia one in a catalog, I think for Habit for Humanity. I have grown miniature roses, though - roses and peonies seem to be my speciality. And weeds (plural).

It not just about growing them though. I know mine will probably die but the lady I spoke to said it will help me learn. You have to buy wires and little shears and stuff to give it shape. I'm not there yet. I'm still trying to figure out how the heck to water this thing.
bonsaiweb.com has a lot of cool stuff on it. Some of these people have had their trees for 10-20 years and it looks beautiful. I have no idea how much those must have cost. Plus they're huge.
