My wife calls them the Keebler Elf Trees.
Lol...that's adorable! My husband actually feels bonsai were meant to be small. (Because of a karate movie) But the tree is dormant. He sees firewood when they are out of leaf. Making mame not impressive even as kindling. In leaf...he likes them. Its funny his mind set.

Small pots

Here are all the ones I have that measure up, just. The largest is bang on 4.5 inches.
Not sure if I will use any of these ones yet, maybe throw an accent in the small one when I figure out a soil to use.

I do have one other put aside for one of my entries but that can wait until the reveal. :D

I can't believe I am going to say this, your largest skull...with the teeth...I totally think it's cool! I've seen a few of his pots...never one quite like that. Or if so...I don't recall it.

Only half of them are. ;)

He recently released another skull themed batch of pots so there were loads to choose from, this one did catch my eye and luckily I was quick enough to snap it up. He really does mix it up at times too using darker or redder clays for some skulls too.
But yeah the gnarly teeth on this one do stand out out and being a bit bigger it is more practical which is good.

@defra ... Thinking mame...with this contest. Is the only reason I now am anticipating what I can do with a knee root off the mame tree in the contest. I owe that to you...and your contest. So thank you...if not for this contest...I would have just removed it...tossing it out,

Well...it is working! I am so excited about a darn little knee root. :oops:... I love the material...Boston Ivy is so pretty...wasn't supseptible to black spot another plus! Just peaking it has roots I can work to my favor possibly...as an exposed root. Or...if the root tucks into a rock I got which has a grove in it...ROR possibly wedging the root into that crack looking grove in the rock. The rock is cool...so if it doesn't work...I will send it away for a daiza built for it. But...as I scream at my mental head count for how many trees I wish in my collection...I can't imagine tossing it out. Now the Goji suckers in the pot...dislike that plant...I may toss them. Keeping only mine main tree. I go between hating it...and envisioning it thicker and more developed...curious if I could grow to love it.

Nice Dennis! The first one, is it from a Czech guy? I've got one of his too, it's proper quality stuff.

You should show the side you fixed on the green round, that side is way better!

Shhh they dont have to know i got nail polish lol

And yes could be a Czech guy indeed
Hope te get some more at the next noelanders :)
