Daring & Over-the-Top Brilliant 7/16/14

Daring and brilliant. I think the daring part is combining such a strong and unique pot with such a brilliant little flowering tree. Each could stand on its own, no problem. But together the brilliance is multiplied.  This photo and the other photos in this post are from Machiko Koide’s timeline on facebook.

I don’t know much about Michiko Koide and google didn’t help. All I could find is her facebook timeline. Turns out, based on the photos, that’s plenty

These pots are most excellent, with or without little trees.

The two handed approach (see our last post).

Contrast in trees and pots, but both very sweet. I’m guessing that the tree on the right is a Cryptomeria (Japanese cedar). The Shimpaku is too easy.

Feast your eyes and then imagine what you could do with such a brilliant selection of pots.

  1. I think the tree on the right (in the butterfly pot) is not a Cryptomeria, but a sekka hinoki cypress.

  2. Hi Will,
    Thanks. I’m not surprised if I got it wrong. My guesses are often pretty sketchy.
