If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

I have been looking for an appropriate bonsai-esque plant a while now but I haven't had much luck with them. Unfortunately most "bonsai" are marketed simply as "bonsai" and do not refer to the actually plant species. In reality the word bonsai indicates only to the method of tree miniaturization and can apply to a number of different types plants. Bonsais are typically outdoor trees like, juniper or maple, whose growth is stunted due to a combination of pruning and root constraint. These plants usually do very poorly indoors. Because of these factors I never had much luck with keeping indoor bonsais.

Then one day during lunch I notice this little guy at corner store and I thought to myself "What the hell, let's give it another shot." So I bought this tree for the bargain price of $14 and it may have been the best $14 I ever spent.

Okay, that may have been a bit of an overstatement, truth be told, the best $14 I ever spent was for tickets to the opening of the movie, High School Musical 3, but the tree was a good purchase, nonetheless.

Anyway, thought the tree is thriving I don't actually know what kind of tree it is.

I asked the cashier when I bought it and he ran outside and brought back a tag that said "Chrysan." After a week of thinking that "Chrysan" was the name of the tree I clued in that it may actually be a Chrysanthemum plant.

However, upon further research it is clear that my little tree is not a Chrysanthemum and I have yet to come across a similar plant since. I look over sometimes and think to myself "who are you? What's your story?"

I suppose my tree is have to remain shrouded in mystery.
Maybe I should try smoking it?

Oh, and for the record I was kidding about High School Musical 3 tickets being the best $14 I ever spent (kinda.)
