Did everyone here start with BLUE pots?

Wife says we're running out of pot money. Hope I get to the door before her today when FedEx shows up...big pots are harder to stash.

Yeah I am pretty partial to blue as well. I have a few blue pots of various shades. This is actually dark blue but it looks black in the photo.

OK,..I feel like I am the only one who does not get the blue pot joke. I have about 30,..what gives?

As I said, there are blue pots and there are blue pots. Very typically, the cheapest of the non-winterhardy Chinese pots are brightly colored, shiney glazed brilliant blue. May are shaped like bathtubs.
Some blue pots are very nice, but they cost more than a lot of folks on here seem willing to pay -- and you get what you pay for.

Fill more pots, it will seem like you have less
Works every time!

I wonder if people who collect paintings sometimes become obsessed with collecting frames too. I bet they do.

My first pot was green. Can't remember riding my bike home.

After you bought it, did you have the munchies?

Nothing wrong with good blue pots.

A shot of mine. Got a couple in pots, but those are not even close to being blueish. Do white/blue pots count?

Lmfao I didn't notice until this thread that I'm apparently quite partial to blue pots.

I have a bunch of cheap Chinese blue pots, I like them with ''floofy'' pink azaleas, pink bouganvillea, and other gaudy plants. White and or pink orchids look good in electric blue. I do try to avoid acquiring more electric blue chinese pots. There is nothing ''wrong'' with them, great for trees in training, trees that have not achieved a sense of being subtle. Bold and gaudy requires a gaudy pot.

That may explain why Al has an assload of them then.

That's all i've bought lol. I have yet to use them though. I keep all mine in cut down nursery pots. I don't see anything wrong with blue pots i don't care for light blue pots too much dark blue is nice. I do think that red flowering bonsai or red leaves in fall make a nice contrast with any blur color. But im still some what noob to bonsai so shrugs... It was also concluded that blue is also the worlds favorite color...
