Natural Ironstone Pot

Post by fossil finder »

I picked up this ironstone specimen out Yowah way and decided to grind a few sharp edges off to make them look more weathered.

I can see them ok? I'm viewing from Tapatalk for what difference it makes.

Very beautiful FF. I know you like to use them for display only but have you considered this one for a planting? I can't say I would but can also see it really making a tree look amazing.

Cheers,
Pearcy.

It probably seems I'm mainly interested in rocks Pearcy001but I also have a small plant nursery I am presently re-setting up after having moved to new house. This rock will probably end up with Giant Moss ( Dawsonia Sp.) I have been growing on it.

I look forward to seeing this. I can't remember the post but one of your rock plantings where you grew the tall Moss on it looked absolutely amazing! Please post photos when it is done I look forward to seeing it.

*** EDIT ***

A bit of a search through your previous posts show that it was in fact the giant Moss I loved. Here's a link for any wondering what I'm on about.
