Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.
Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Bonsai
What is the oldest one you have? Any cool story behind it? Like it's inherited from royalty, it's got 3 different fruits on it, etc?
My oldest tree is a 15-year-old Japanese black pine purchased from an authentic bonsai nursery in nipomo California. The owner is a second generation bonsai artist and very kind person. Most of the fun for me is in turning young nursery stock into starter bonsai material. It's easier than you might think, and I'm not doing this competitively so I don't really mind if it's not absolutely perfect.
