New Pot from New Potter

[Watto]

I don't really know if the title is correct, however this I know for sure. One of the members of our bonsai society has commenced, or re-commenced pottery and has made a few trial pots to see if members of our society like them, think they are suitable and of sufficient quality.
The first time I saw this one I really liked it and as such bought it. It is earthy, almost rustic and well balanced so I put a tree in it to see how that would go. The tree is a Leptospermum ? so if anyone recognizes it I would appreciate if you could let me know. What I do know is that the leaves are 7 mm or 8 mm long, dark olive colour and quite sharp tip with a flakey bark but I haven't seen it flower yet.
Anyway, its about the pot. The potter - Viv - has agreed to have a reasonable selection for purchase at our next exhibition so I am looking forward to that. Good to see another Aussie potter on the scene.

Hi Watto,
Nice pot. Looks like you may have a Scoparium. They like full sun. I put mine in dappled shade after a repot last year. Forgot it was still there till another one in full sun flowered. Have moved it back to full sun so expect it to flower next year.
Cheers

Thanks for the info Kirky. I'll keep an eye out for the flowering.

How do we order these nice pots?

[Watto]

Unfortunately Kvan, these pots will not be on the market "fair dinkum" until about October next year.

Is that the Viv who joined your club just a few years ago? And who has some excellent mohair fleeces for sale?
Beautiful pot and well-made.

Yep, Viv has been a member for a while now and is making some pots for fun.
