I don't have any stands or display boxes. Or even a backdrop - other than the side of my shed. But here's a crape myrtle in a Sara Rayner pot.

Nice tree. Here are couple of work-in-progress Berberis on the bench this morning. Pots are Erin (left) and Walsall (right). Very raw rose clump in the background.

Chojubai Japanese Quince in a Byron Myrick pot.
This is a wonderful little tree. I have a picture of it you posted a couple of years back saved on my laptop, in a note labelled 'shohin pine inspiration'.
This little Scots pine - again a work in progress - is not a direct copy, but has certainly been influenced by your work.

Here is an Acer rubrum in a Sara Rayner pot. I think this one slides in just around eight inches and looks a little more convincing with immature leaves.

Kinda similar to my procumbens. I had it in a very similar pot until a couple weeks ago, when it went into this Chuck Iker round.

I was playing around with displaying trees with instruments and this is my shohin Mugo Pine in front of a Bodhran, a traditional Irish drum. The pot is not well represented in this picture but it’s a beautiful Sam Miller that suits the tree well, with a few subtle orange streaks in the glaze that pick up on the winter foliage color.
