Yeah, I completely agree. It is a great pot for that tree. It is similar to the 'cow pat' pots that Pat makes too, this style. Beautiful.Andrew F wrote:Even though consciously the pot was made well before I had even ripped that mel out of the ground, they were made for one another. It grounds the tree well. I cant wait to see what you put in the massive pot from saturday. I reckon a Cassie forest/clump would suit it.Rory wrote:That's quite fitting actually Andrew. Because I remember seeing this tree and pot when Hugh brought it into one of the meetings and thinking 'nice!'. It was the first time in person I had seen a Penny Davis pot potted up.Andrew F wrote:Rory wrote: Best example: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=20031&start=0&hilit=linariifolia
Yes, that is precisely why I bought it. I have 3 different forest settings of glauca / cunninghamiana and littoralis that are too young now, but in time they will probably be right for the pot. I would lean towards glauca or cunninghamiana though I think. But if I can hurry up and thicken the trunks on some of my torulosa I may just use one big casy instead.
Yeah, I totally agree. In the thread about 'Tokoname - I just don't get it', some users say Aussie pots are only good for natives, which is such an insult to these great potters. Its a load of tripe, as Pat and others make pots that will suit any species of tree, and so does Penny really. Its just ignorance to say that a particular species only looks good in old asian pots.Ray M wrote:Hi Rory,
I have both Penny and Pat's pots. They are very good potters and have produced some great pots. Every time I've used them they look good with whatever goes into them.
Regards Ray
FYI - Penny does not just make these earthy pots, she also makes formal looking pots and so on.Denise Allen is another potter who is new to the scene, from our club, who is making some beautiful pots.
