When more than One Bonsai Pot works…

chuhin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:35:16 +0000

On Peter T.’s level, you would expect that all the possible choices of pots would work. But then the question becomes, “Which one works best for the feeling you want to bring out in the bonsai?”

Though all may work, the final picture in this post is Peter’s choice.

Peppers and Bonsai

We though we would do a “Scott” – peppers and bonsai on the blog- but put them in the same picture. If you don’t know who Scott is here is a link to his blog: http://scottsbonsai.blogspot.com/ He was the one who supplied a tiny little plant this spring, which is now ready for harvest.

Is this bonsai full enough to show?

Jeff and Boon had a conversation about this Western Juniper. And, the question they have is this: Is this Western Juniper showable?
