Iblis Bane @iblis-bane.co.za · 04/12/2025Fairly pleased with how this bougainvillea glabra is progressing. Bought as nursery stock 3 years ago, after a 10+ year hiatus from #bonsai. Plan a semi-cascade root-over-rock, & will start exposing the rock (present but buried) in the upcoming re-pot next spring. (Also need a more suitable pot. 🙂) 030 3

Iblis Bane @iblis-bane.co.za · 21/01/2025Speaking from a country that spent nearly 10 years struggling against a kleptocratic president and his corrupt cabinet bent on capturing the state and looting its coffers, my advice to Americans is: Lawfare. Challenge every order, every pronouncement, every appointment in the courts. 1/ 1101 10
Iblis Bane @iblis-bane.co.za · 31/12/2024The enso ('circle') is one of the deepest symbols in Japanese Zen. [It] is the revelation of a world of the spirit without beginning and end. [It] reflects that transforming experience - perfectly empty yet completely full, infinite, shining brightly like the moon-mind of enlightenment. 042 4
