Pot Competition - Not to be taken seriously . . . . .

Post by Andrew Legg »

Hey folks.

I thought I'd run a skunk-works competition here on Ausbonsai for the most ridiculous pot. The rules of the competition are simple:

1.> It must be a bonsai planted in/on a container. ;)
2.> There is no prize. :crybye:
3.> There is no deadline. :tu2:
4.> There is no winner. Everyone's a winner !!! :hooray:
5.> At no stage whatsoever is anyone allowed to suggest that these are not true bonsai of the highest order! :tounge:
6.> At no stage is anyone allowed to take things too seriously on this thread! :shake:

So I'll get the show on the road with my first entry (which will be styled once it has settled in it's new home:

Yup, made in China, and I'll tell you something, it was not cheap either! Have you tried drilling a hole in a croc? :cry: There's nothing like getting slapped in the face at a few hundred RPM by a croc on a drill! :whistle:

So you think you're just gonna stroll in here and bowl us all over? Nice try buddy! Rule 6a clearly stipulates that the tree must be permanently potted into it's pot to qualify to not win this competition.
