Thanks. "Cute" is better than some other adjectives I can think of... I just hope it looks alright to my students (and coworkers!). Seriously, as long as it's okay with the ppl I have to be around I can cope with being less than 100% pleased with it, myself (if other ppl think it's not so good, though, I might die from over-self-consciousness!)--at least until I can grow it out long enough to give it another try.

Maybe you can't have a sakura-bonsai, but surely another kind of plant/flower.... Maybe a tsubasa? ;-)
