Home made pot

[BonsaiPoppie]

My wife is into pottery and she made me a special pot. It’s 6.5 tall, 6.5 x 7.5.
The front of it where it looks like it has been peeled back, has some of my mom’s ashes in it. I think it’s pretty cool. Now I need to figure out what kind of tree to put in it.

Congratulations to your wife. That’s a mighty fine pot she created. She has some outstanding skill, talent and vision. Well done!

That's a very cool pot. Your wife might consider selling them. As for what kind of tree, look around your property. Thanks to birds, wind, squirrels, etc. we have lots of saplings all over our front, and back yards. Juniper, pecan, oak, and several I don't recognize. Having been to Fallbrook many times I know you have access to a lot of trees. Especially eucalyptus. Dig up one, or several, and go for it. Good luck.

Very nice and creative use of the ashes. Choose a tree your mom will like.

My mom always liked what I grew in the garden and my bonsai. I think I will put a Crepe Myrtle in it. She left me a little money and I made our front yard into a garden with a path going thru it. If you want i can post some pictures of it. I know its not bonsai related but it is gardening.

Absolutely, would love to see it. I am sure she would be pleased.

Post it up. A crepe would be awesome too.

There is a Japanese Black Pine and a Trident Maple in the pic. Next year I would like to do some air layering on the maple.

I have one in my backyard that is about 20 feet tall.

What is the purple flower?

Its sea lavender, marsh rosemary. The proper name is Limonium. They make great cut flowers.

I really like that glaze, it has great texture and variation. Well done.
