Opinions needed
G'day all, back in 2004 I bought a dragon pot, and have ever since been going to put a viewing rock in it, FINALLY today I found a couple of rocks, SO, I would like some opinions on which rock and which view of each suits ?? Thanks.

Re: Opinions needed
G'day Jamie, I got the rocks from another Kinnoto group member, the rocks are not as shiny as they have come out in the photos, how do you feel that they over power the pot, mate, ?? do you think if I take the photos in the daytime maybe ??' I kinda like Rock B 2 nd and 3 rd view personally. What do you think ??

Re: Opinions needed
hi mate,
Personally if it was me and I had to choose one of these veiws or rocks, it would be rock B first veiw, that one shows the most interest overall.
I feel the rocks over power the pot by the sheer size of the rocks themselves, I dont know how big the pot/rocks are but for a pot that size it feels like the rock is gonna fall through and smash the pot, thats just me though, I reckon the same sort of rock is the goods, but smaller, about three quarters of the size(so 75% overall mass, not 25% of the size) of them would have a much more stable, balanced feel.

Re: Opinions needed
I also tend to agree with Jamie,
I think like our bonsai trees don't belong in certain pots, these rocks just dont seem to go with the pot.. individually they are nice though

Re: Opinions needed
Mate, Rock B is rubbish and just because you are a good bloke I'm going to come down and help you be rid of it.
IMHO the pot just does not suit the rock at all, sorry mate. I feel the pot is to tall and to ornate for a rock. Instead I'd be looking for a more suitable tree, but don't forget, I'll be down shortly to pick that rock up 4U.

Re: Opinions needed
Love the stones, love the pot but I don't see a harmonious union between them. They stand too tall and require earthy type trays.
