If you love bonsai vibes, you'll adore this Ficus microcarpa. Its thick, twisted trunk evokes the gnarled character of trees that have weathered decades in the wild, giving it an instant sense of age and presence despite its compact size. Glossy, dark green leaves cluster along the branches, adding a lush contrast to the sculptural trunk below.

This is a wonderfully low-maintenance variety, forgiving enough for beginners but full of character for seasoned bonsai enthusiasts too. Bright, indirect light is best. Water when the top half of the soil is dry.

My first floral design job was at Rick Orr Florist, while I was studying horticulture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During the four years I worked there, I learned so much from Rick and his business partner, Geraldine. That experience sent me on the (somewhat circuitous) entrepreneurial path to starting Pollen and then Rooted Living.

Rick was ahead of the floral design trends, using clear glass vases while most florists were still arranging in smiley face mugs. His perspective shaped the direction my own floral design would take, leading me toward a more naturalistic style.

l'm headed down to Champaign to pay my respects to Rick and reconnect with folks from my time there.

I'll be back in the shop on Thursday. See you then!
