here are some couple of little accents i've done over the last couple of days...
this one's a little fuschia flowers, quite a pale pink, 20-25mm in length max.
probably look alright in 2 years...
cutting about 4 weeks, they grow well in tas.
moss, local rock from the shore near my place...
this one's a quince, i'm just gonna dome this one on the top of the hill.

Yep, they work for me as interesting accents. You grow good moss Aaron, must be wet down your way.
I wish I could grow a decent qunice, but we just don't get cold enough up here.

Great work Arron.
I would like to try stuff like this but I find they often take too much care for me to keep healthy so I feel I may be hitting my head against a wall. How do you care for these?

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: little "things" i've been playing with...
i have the little ones sit in wet gravel trays or water trays most of the time...
they come out some nights for displat in the house.
they do take a fair bit more care than the trees, but i like the little things too
also in a climate like mine, the local mosses thrive. lucky me

Very nice. You should make more pots to go with them. At our meeting yesterday I was talking with Bob Niass and he mentioned you rang him. He's a great bloke.
