I'm slowly accumulating more and more companion pots and plants

Lovely plants and pots, well photographed (of course). Thanks for sharing Mel.

Cheers Sonya, nice light when it's raining.

Ideed, i especially like the Hawthornia and its flower...
Lovely pots too.... isn't it amazing how the love of bonsai branches out to an addiction to pots, display tables and mini plants...? !
Thanks for sharing Mel.

You're welcome, Pierre!

It is turning into a bit of an addiction....haha

Very nice Mel, great little pots too, cute.

Anthony

Thanks Anthony, I am thinking I've probably got way too many plants....lol

The succulent is Haworthia, not Hawthornia... ssssheeeesh. sorry peeps.

love it! thanks for sharing, im assuming the smaller the pot the more attention it needs, especially QLD summers.

You're assuming correctly, but I have them sitting in a larger pot with scoria in the bottom. They get misted twice a day when it's hot, once a day if it's not.

Mel,
Hats off to ya for keeping these little green babies alive!
My "all day sun - not an ounce of shade" backyard has no place for these to dwell.
I still hear the haunting cries at night of shrivelled up mini's past.....silence of the "accents".

Oh also,
Would you mind dropping down a notch or two with the photographic skills - your making some of us here look a bit amateur.
Thanks Keep calm...

I think i m in the same addictive club ..cheers

I'm lucky to have a very helpful hubby who has made me a number of areas that have protection, and this is where the minis reside. I'm on a small block facing NE, and the Eastern side is where I asked him to build me a greenhouse. It's been where all my pitcher plants have lived for many years, but now they're being muscled out by kusamono, shohin and a couple of mame. I have also put a Nepenthes into a shohin pot, just to be contrary! After a year of sulking it finally looks like it might pitcher again.
Sorry about the photography, I am a real sucker for shallow depth of field macro...

I suspect most of us here are in that club Anthony!

I had to laugh at the meeting where Glenys Bebb gave a talk, where she suggested that you might have too many plants if you can't find the time to do the work that they all need! Nope, that's not me!!!

Nice!

Cheers Boics!
I'm excited about this Cuphea too, I have some others that are covered in flowers, this one has only one at the mo...
