+Bougainvillea root

Post by aussie4bonsai »

+This is a root I have been growing for 2years.
Recently had this pot given to me by a neighbor and I put them together today.
What do you think of the match.

Very nice and a lovely match for the pot, The twists and turns are replicated well. Looks like they were made for each other :-)

Nice. I see a dragon hatching out of its egg!
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

I like it a lot, but it's gonna be a bugger when the time comes time to repot.
