If you want a bonsai tree and live in Rome, check out the little shop on the V. del Coronari, 16. These dedicated guys know their stuff. And, when I go away, they tree-sit for as long as I need.
I prefer to think of my little tree as a pen jing rather than a bonsai, but bonsai’ll do.
Here is pen jing getting some morning sun after a drink and a thorough misting:
Thank you very much for your offer of a photo of Cardinal Bona’s tomb.
The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church says that he is buried in the chapel of Ss. Cosma e Damiano in the church of S. Giovanni de’ Fiorentini. A photo would be very gratefully appreciated if you get the chance.
I said \”Bonsai\” not \”Bona\”!
I will get the shot, if I can.

Father,
Maybe someday you can do a post on Cardinal Del Val and include pics of his burial place in St. Peters?
I love bonsai trees, though sadly they do not love me! They usually die within 6 months of purchase! :-(
Fr, I swear you are more Chinese than me!
Well, Geoffrey, if your bonsai had St. Peter’s Dome to gaze at each day, I bet it would thrive, too.
Thank you Father!
It’s good for my littlle nativity scene!
