I knew this was Madrid! That whole row of bonsai in the botanical garden is impressive. And they have most labeled with age and origin. Really fun place to walk around.

I just bought a bonsai tree and every morning I wake up to it being knocked over by my cats.

You need some Quakehold Museum Putty. The cats will appreciate being able to scratch their faces on the scratching tree you got them, without being startled by the noisy mess.

If it were mine, I'd manage to kill it in under a month. I can't even keep lucky bamboo alive, and that's one of the easiest plants in the world to maintain.

My poor Spanish skills makes me think this is at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Madrid.

What an amazing tree. Would love to be able to do Bonsai.

Thought the same thing but for the Montreal Botanical Garden
