A Simple & Elegant Solution 10/22/12

Museum worthy. A bevy of sweet succulents has found the perfect nest in this colorful ceramic art by Horst Heinzlreiter.

It’s Horst (of course)
Choosing the right pot for the right tree (or non-tree plantings in this case) is critical if you want first-rate art, bonsai or otherwise. All the pots and plantings in this post are by Horst Heinzlreiter. We’ve featured Horst’s pots before and, will no doubt feature them again. They are simply too unique and too beautiful to pass up.

The simple solution
If you own a striking bonsai pot and your bonsai talent or enthusiasm is a little low, maybe the plantings in these photos will provide some inspiration to help solve your problem. Or, if your bonsai talent and enthusiasm are not so low, there’s nothing like a good pot to work with.

There’s more where these came from
If you’d like to see more of Horst’s pots (and there are plenty to see) you can check him out on facebook, or you can visit his website.

 

Outrageous (in the positive sense) comes to mind we I see this strong display of color, shape and texture.

 

This sweet little planting is called a Kusamono. It can stand alone as an art in itself or as a companion to a bonsai.

 

Another great sample from Horst’s vast collection of artfully crafted pots. Though you don’t usually think of displaying an empty bonsai pot, this one, like most of Hort’s pots, can stand as art just as it is.
