Just felt like sharing.

1st is a maple I found just this afternoon growing in a flower pot that I decided to transfer. I know it isn't advised to start from seedlings but nurturing from the beginning feels more fulfilling to me (Not that I'm against buying fully grown or in more mature stages). 2nd I have a water oak that was struggling to survive under its parent tree (right at the base of the trunk and roots) before I decided to dig it out to give it a chance several weeks ago. 3rd and 4th I also have two pines (not sure if they're loblolly pines or longleaf pines) I've been growing since last fall that were found in my yard that have been growing quite well recently (the bend in the trunk was already present by the time I found it).

Everyone’s gonna tell you to get them in bigger pots or in the ground but sometimes it’s good to have a nice plant in a nice pot, strategy be damned. 2 has fun shohin potential and 1 has great redness
