flat rock containers

Mugo pine, European spruce and ezo spruce on rock pots by Avicenna from Germany.
And European spruce on broken pot shell by Willaim Vlaanderen.

Now I like these ones walter

I am always accused of potting to shallow, but that last one is GREAT !!!.

All four are great compositions; I especially like the first one. What captures me most is that I don't even notice the pot.

Thank you for the pictures.

Here is another one of these containers by avicenna. The tree is a cembra pine, Pinus cembra which was collected in the Alps in 2002. The crown will have to be tidied a bit again. But the aim is to make this whole creation look quite realistic like a little mountain scene. The tree will have to look like I found it exactly as is on the mountain. If you think that this is easy then try it and show the result.

I think it works very well. The composition can be exceptionally realistic, more so than using a crescent shaped pot. What are your visions for the final arrangement?

Vision? Well as is, only the crown tidied up a bit. You have to know the species. With cembra pine you can wish whatever you want, they will do whatever they like and never have a tidy bonsai crown.
