pots by Mateusz Grobelny

Larch bei Mauro Stemberger and WP, pot by Mateusz Grobelny from Poland. What a difference a pot makes!!

Wonderful ... this is nature!!!

Wow Walter now that is a pot. Funny this was, when I looked at the first picture I imagined the bonsai to be quite small. It was only after scrolling down I realised what a whopper it is:-)

No kidding! So how much does that empty pot weigh?

I think I prefer to see bonsai in pots that look like pots. Guess I'm stuck in traditional.

Well Russel, I can cary it alone. I think it weighs 30 to 40 lbs.

Well, at least it's lighter than a real rock I suppose.

That larch would be beautiful planted in a garbage can! The only thing I miss about cold weather are the cold weather species, and larch is at the top of my list.

Hi Walter.
its so beautiful. i wish i can have pots like that.
the color and texture of the pot is almost exactly the same as the trunk of the tree. was it made specially for that tree? is it not going to change its appearance someday? just asking sir?

Kind regards,
jun

JUn,

this was not made for this tree and it will not change the color. It will get some more natural moss and weeds and it will look even more natural in time.

Walter,

thanks.

i have some tree materials with an aged old barks, mostly dark gray in color planted in some boring pots. will a natural volcanic rock (curved down to the core) have the same natural effect?

Beautiful pot Walter.
You could try painting/spraying it with Buttermilk a few times to promote the moss. It seems to work for Disneyworld.
Hmmmm, I wonder if Buttermilk is called buttermilk in Munich??

Drama!!!

Well.... everything is possible, and I am glad some dares to try new things.... but personally I certainly prefers the traditional bonsai aesthetics. I miss both the simplicity and the beauty with this piece. But taste is not a subject you can discuss - just like colours its just about - taste.

Best regards

It is not easy to understand this kind of pot, if person don´t understand contemporary visual art.

Hi Andrija,
what a strange thing to say???
I have always believed that (regular?) Bonsai art was challenging enough for me to grasp and do right! But now I have just learned from you that I also have to learn about contemporary art before I understand this kind of pot? Those this mean that I cant have a opinion about this kind of contemporary pot? Or those this mean that any negotive comment from any body on this pot would label them automatically as non under standers of contemporary visual art?
I am confused, I think I will stick to my Bonsai, that is hard enough as it is !
Cheers,
Hans van Meer.

Hans van Meer.

NO! I didn't said that. I´am just saying "If you understand contemporary visual art, than you can easy understand this pot". No hard feelings.
