I work on bonsai trees and my wife focuses on her little kusamono, and that works out very well for the two of us. Whenever I have a display or at our Houston Bonsai Society shows, she provides companion plants. These are some she made and brought to the Society meeting last night when Danny Corffey was in town doing a critique on bonsai displays. A lot of interactions, discussions and hands on with Danny, we had a blast! Thanks Danny and Scott for arranging the visiting artist !

Inland Sea Oats, a Texas native:
Star of Bethlehem and Ajuga "Chocolate Chip' on moss ball (kokedama) in a sushi saucer:
Her kusamono is quite distinctive with a combination of several weeds and mosses to create a meadow scene. She had used 16 kinds of plants in one of her lava rock kusamono before. Some people told us her meadow creation is very distinct from what we normally see in
Japanese kusamono. Her signature?
She likes the following angle better, the meadow is mostly hidden by the broken pot. A junk yard spring.
This Annual Bluegrass, a weed many people would kill when it appears in their lawn, in a John Cannon's pot.
