Yes. Cascade. I think it’s in a triangular, ceramic pencil holder
That one on center left looks like you could plant a tree and a companion plant in the same pot. Very, very cool.

Here’s a pot that I just bought today at a Goodwill Store for $1.10. It’s not quite a Sara Rayner, but I like it. I got a great pot and helped out a charity, so it’s a win-win!

That is absolutely gorgeous. To my eye, at least, that encrustation on the outside just screams for a tree with a gnarly, rugged bark and trunk. Great find!

I bought these drill bits from Amazon, and I’m very happy with them:

Just take it low and slow, be patient, and it was really easy. Here’s a set of converted bonsai pots that I bought at Goodwill and drilled. Total cost for six pots: $9.58 plus about 30 minutes of drilling.

Very nice indeed, especially lower left.

I might have more correctly stated that I first saw a picture of the Hoover display in the Minnesota NPR article, and not implied that it was necessarily the same image Leo posted.
There are no doubt numerous images of the same exhibit making the rounds of the internet, and it was presumptuous of me to suggest that Leo’s post was of the same image I saw in the article without being sure that such was, indeed, the case.
