:wave: again Mel,
Seems I can keep one of these little accent things alive after all - this is bluegrass planted in a cheap second hand vase about 2 years ago. 3 x tiny little holes at top for the grass to fill up & clump out from. I'm pretty happy with the amount of dirt & slime on the vessel so far...oh wait.. I mean "patina". :D

That's a good looking accent plant KCAR! Well done!

I actually took a few more photos just the other day...

The others weren't in focus since I used a little Russian manual lens....lol

Cheers squizzy, I've gone way overboard with these, since they're quick to get a result with, unlike bonsai. :)

Thanks for posting Melbrackstone. Your recent post got me interested in exploring the forum on this topic.

I like Watto's post too here viewtopic.php?f=30&t=25022&p=250660&hil ... ts#p250660

And a bump :bump: to Melbrackstone's own reference to this article too. https://www.kusamonochoe.com/journal/201 ... ent-plants

Intersting...I might look into this myself. :yes:

Cheers Mark, getting into accents can end up using up ALL your spare room, including your bathroom and any other space in the house that gets good light... oops, did I say that out loud?
