In the new pot

isit difficult to water wit such pots ? or r they for display purposes only ?

I see holes in the bottom -- smallish ones. But that won't matter for me. I don't find them at all attractive.

Are you kidding? These are great.

Budi, very nice combination on all trees.

Well, different strokes, and all that.

Hi Budi,
Nice trees. Have you seen the wbff photo contest result?

Hi Budi,
I think that these trees are taken to a new level of interest in these pots.
The shapes of the pots are great but I would like to see them be a little darker in color.
Are they made of clay and fired?

By the way, how many of you will join the ASPAC in Taiwan?

Your friend,

Hi Ken,

They are just natural stone shaped into a pot. Some of them are darker in color

Wow Jim summat else we agree on... I find them to be coarse in the extreme, neither 'Natural' or abstract.

Great! I'm more or less used to being the aesthetic odd man out around here. I don't like crescent pots, either.

the literati combinstion goes well but the microcarpa transformation is not appreciable considering the massiveness and great depth in your creation,classical styles go well in those new pots.....thank you friend for sharing
