Some efforts at the combo

The rice plant was unexpected. It just grew by itself.

Hi Truong

Thanks for sharing your photos

The stone together with a plant, is not really suiseki...I would post it in the topic: Dispaly, kusamono...
The next photo, show a nice pot....Two stones are placed in it, You can not really see them....
Please take a look at the newest photos on my topic: Danish stones...It can give you an idea, on how you can, show a stone in a suiban.

Hope it helps.

Kind regards Yvonne

I like suibans too. But at the moment I own a very small one, albeit nice.

Hi Truong

You can show your stones in the big pot, no problem...But take a photo from an another angle, to highligt the stone.....plants together with a stone in the pot, is not suiseki.

Kind regards Yvonne

Thanks Yvonne.

I actually want this angle, because it highlights the boatshape of the stone, and the rice plant.

I just realized that the rice plant looked like a flag.

Not suiseki? No problem mate

Hi Trong... In the first photo, are you illustrating a scene regarding water or the loss of water? Do you imagine a story, a scene or elements of both?

A cactus planted on a surface partially covered with seashells & seashell fragments is unexpected and, therefore, intriguing.

I'm glad you find it intriguing. I just think cacti go well with stones, I use the seashells and coral bits because they are available to me

Hi Truong

I would place the cacti next to the stone , at least if it is a stone you want to exhibit like a suiseki.

Kind regards Yvonne

No problem mate I'll try that next. Tall catus, short stone or the other way round. Will look cool.

I will just wait and see, what you come up with...Then we talk again

I'm actually not so sure mate.

Maybe you need to drop in my "Going home" thread. Think it's my last.
