I’m fairly new to this hobby and have only bought samples of ink so far. Thanks to a Reddit user here, who sent me a sample of Pilot Iroshizuku ink with a purchase, I discovered that it really does matter how wet an ink is.

I’m happy with this ink and how it flows with my new Ensso Bolt retractable pen. I was having some hard start/ no start troubles with the other retractable pens I had purchased,
Making me regret my early pen choices as a newbie to the sport, until this Bolt came along.

Could anyone recommend a color in this ink brand (or other wet inks) that would jibe with my professional brand/logo?

First spring in our new home. Things are popping up everywhere. Lots of old Rhodies that are overgrown and woody. Today’s topic is this beautiful Azalea. I spotted it across the lawn as it bloomed overnight. It’s in such a poor state that I can’t believe it’s blooming so beautifully.

I’d like to cut it back to be a more bushy shape but I’m afraid I’ll kill it. And all of the Rhodies too. They’ve all reached for the sun and lack leaves at the bottom. Some are over ten feet tall.

Any advice for this particular plant?

Thanks in advance.
