Lol. Yip. Too much of a good thing. How about a pot like this

First photo of pots on home page. There is an oval one unglazed but with a red crackle type finish to pick up the flowers. I'd post but I don't know how on the iPad! :lost:

Very impressive. I am particularly taken with the good even spread of the flower buds across the entire tree, and this only comes with good skills and age.
Thanks for showing this years "show".

Very well done treeman. Something we should all aspire too.
A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.
