Hi Antonio,
Looks good. How do the different soil requirements of the plants go, looks healthy.
Cheers,
Leigh.

Re: griffin penjin
Hi Antonio,
It looks cute and I like it. Very detail in such confined space.
In top photo, the redish piece in sort block-shaped, I could not tell if
it is timber or some kind of rock?
A very tranquil creation in my thinking.
Regards.

Re: griffin penjin
Nice work Antonio! Looks equally great from both sides and a very unique mix of plants which I would not have considered.
Thanks Ant!

Re: griffin penjin
ok, i water and shade mine, but green moss in the middle of THIS summer, let alone any summer...?
c'mon.
actually, i was suprised at how late into this summer that my moss stayed green, was good, alas, all brown now.
But that being said, this last week with some rain and cool mornings, started going green again.
i love green moss...
