Bonsai

The heavy rain made a mess of the bonsai.

I'd buy a bonsai tree if I had the room for it.

My bonsai, which is the cherry tree, is starting to bloom.

This botanical garden has an amazing bonsai collection.

Tom has three bonsai trees that he got from his great-grandfather.

As a teenager, I grew avocado plants in pots, so that I could make bonsai out of them, but I later learned that optimally, bonsai should have small leaves; avocado plants had big leaves.

My unfinished conlang prototype is Weena, which would have tentatively 80 sinograms and a complement of phonograms. Weena would be minimalistically like a bonsai of Japanese, with the intent of encapsulating the calligraphic tradition of the Far East. The name alludes to an Eloi character in The Time Machine franchise of H.G. Wells.

In fact, I made three main prototype conlangs, Vling, Xoqolat, and Weena, respectively, my Orange Dream, my Chocolate Dream, and my Red Bonsai Dream, as experiments, mostly inspired by Lojban and Esperanto. Maybe for some, Lojban and Esperanto are like the city and the countryside. The happy boy said that it was a "garden path sentence by design." The city illumined in violet from the distance. The northern lights illumined in green above the countryside.
