Inspiration from Alpineheart's Australian Saikei

Post by Pup »

Although not on the same scale as Alpinehearts Kimberly landscape. This is one I propose when I get the right pot. It consists of a Melaleuca cuticularis, a piece of local rock, and part of Mrs pups collection of small cottages, she does not know yet ( I had better look for some thing nice for her to replace it ).
The setting is from a cottage we were going to buy in Mt Frankland in the south west of our big state. It got sold before we could sell ours, it is now a big wine region so the property prices have risen so we stay where we are.

So here are the components as put together with some differing angles.

No it has not been burnt it is just why they are called Melaleuca's black and white trunks.
