Felt like taking a few pics:

Unknown conifer group planting:



Juniper Horizontalis ''blue rug'', mondo grass, and moss:




Dwarf Bamboo:



Moss on stone: [from Oberon, NSW]




P.j fig and "too much" moss:



Lemon scented Conifer, and few different sp. of moss:






With or with out Rock????




And every Japanese person's greatest fear......................... "CATZRILLA"

I like the path, it adds a bit of scale. Apparently so does Catzrilla

[The Ficus Guy]

Not bad. I would say no rock for that one planting. I feel like with the rock it throws off the whole size thing. It's not often that you see a rock that big compared to a tree....

[Andrew F]

Thanks guys, i agree the rock doesnt fit in and it would be the only thing that isnt physically attached to the whole setting.

The foot path will be replaced with akadama once i find somewhere locally that stocks it.

Hi Velvetsicklid , i like the pics , now can you spend some time to make yourself a plain backdrop so we can appreciate your work without the distractions in the background . Pinch a bed sheet from your wife , mother or granny , plain in colour so you works stand alone . I nicked a doona cover off the wife and it took her a week or two to realize it , so i gave her permission to go on a shopping spree to find a new one . Now she wants a new doona cover every other month .Keep them coming .

Cheers Alpineart

Hahahaha i thought that would be a problem, my missus would kill me if i took a doona cover out of the cupboard for anything other than changing the doona cover, i would get well beaten.

My bench is slowly getting there, so ill buy one of those bunno's bamboo back drops for better pics

Thanks for the kind words Ian, and all the penjing related threads, now i have a title im happy with: Freestyle Penjing/suiseki.

All we need now is a Penjing sub-forum

Ahhhhh ok, the camera ive been using [Samsung 14mp point and shoot] you'll notice that the back ground in some cases is more detailed than the subject in the foreground, Samsung make awesome T.v's but their camera's aernt all that flash.

I found my old Cannon 8 mp takes a far superior shot. Thanks for the tip.
