Grow your own pine bonsai.

Potted bushes and artful trees - some of them enormous!
The jade market adjoins the flower market so that you can walk from a lush garden into a tinkling cave of gems and crystals. Not only can you buy jade at the market, but also jewels and pearls, strings of beads and antique carvings. It is a fabulous place.
Carved pendants, bowls, even whole tea sets of jade
- hey, I spot jade mooncakes on the plate by the teapot on the tray!

"Flower frog"? I thought that think was a pencil holder! Great pictures!
Well, I suppose it could work as a pencil holder, or toothbrush holder - I think Martha actually makes that suggestion in an article somewhere. Don't know why it's called a frog... Wiki is proving very uninformative. Will have to wait until Martha published a full article on the history of the flower frog.
