Maybe I'm having a brain event, but it looks peach to me.😕
I can’t guarantee that you aren’t. I attribute it to a crappy cell phone picture going from phone to tablet to office computer, and my inept attempts to adjust the contrast. Here’s a better look.

Here’s the old dog bone flowering away. Pulled the first image from page 1 of the thread. Somehow the plants have changed, now it’s sedum with a tiny potentilla hiding in there. I don’t recall ever doing a thing to this besides spraying water at it when I pass by.

One of my other hobbies is planted aquariums. I also keep a "bog" planter to grow some aquatic plants outside. I currently have some rice paddy plant and Vietnamese coriander. It's nowhere as pretty as this, though. Thanks for posting the flowers!
Thank you!

My first accent planting I've put together. Nothing special, but I plan to venture into accent planting more. Just getting my feet wet with Platt's Black Brass Buttons in a Roy metallic gold accent. It's a little ratty looking, but it should fill in with a little time. I love how the purple leaves bring out similar tones in the glaze.

The plant works really well with the colours of the pot, @thams . Good combination. Would look even better with something structural at the back to give it height, some kind of grass maybe. Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' would do the job colourwise, but might be a bit too big for the pot.
