That has to be the pinnacle of shohin perfection! Almost unbelievably good, and with the most beautiful photography. Thanks for posting this link, Terry.

It is staggeringly good. Brilliant. The best I have seen (albeit I am hardly well travelled).

Where do you start - the trees. Beautiful. Tick.

The display area and the marble background - perhaps some may see that as distracting - not me. Just an inspired background. Pure class and complimentary to the plants; pleasing to the eye.

The variety of stands and highlight plants. Wow!

Love this link. Just showed it to someone I’ve never met on the train to work!

Thank you!
