Love this pot, I'm hoping the Turbinicarpus Vierickii will balance it out better in a couple years.

Thanks, yeah, I'm starting to get into pot collecting. I have a small plant collection so I figure I might as well put them into something nice.

Some flowers today.


Echinopsis Subdenudata, finally caught it in bloom

Pelecyphora Stombiliformis. It's flowering like crazy this year. Everytime it gets water it shoots up a new bud or two.

Really nice plants and pots. 8)
Who are you getting the pots from?
They look like the same artist could be making them.

The first two pots I purchased at a C&S show and sale. I can't remember the name of the artist but I sure wish I bought more. The cracked pot is by Kitoi. I'm actually commissioning him to do some more. His stuff is truly amazing.

I collect pots too but whenever I see a really nice one it has no holes in the bottom! ](*,) Therefore all of my plants are in clay pots! :D :D

Really lovely plants and pots :)

I've never seen good pots, I'm actually tempted at giving a shot of making my own, who knows might make something cool :)

Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears

Light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze in orbital ways...

Something a little different, a pachypodium saundersii in a pumice pot. This was growing in the ground for a couple season but didn't quite handle the winter shade and cold. All the fine feeder roots tore off when I dug it up. I don't expect much but root growth for the rest of the season.

Yay got some new pots! Here's one I did today. I completely missed the flowers this week, but I see some buds popping up.

A. Onzuka. Very old plant. I had to aggressively unbind the roots. I hope it reestablishes, fingers crossed.
