little "things" i've been playing with...

Post by aaron_tas »

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. :D

moss, local rock from the shore near my place...

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.

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 :D

also in a climate like mine, the local mosses thrive. lucky me :D :D

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.
