TOO FUNKY FOR SOME !!!

[anttal63]

I just couldn't resist repotting this varigated juni ground cover into this retro lime green Ellis pot. personally i love it but am showing it because i know it will stir the dust! so what do the rest of you think? please look and allow your eyes to settle before you are too quick to judge. the tree still needs to be styled.

nice contrast.

[Jester]

No, I think it's really nice!!! Personally I think it would have been nicer if the purple and lime were the other way around but still very very nice.

Cool and definitely funky , I always wondered what tree would work with this colour glaze, and I think it works, the foliage and glaze, and the unglazed part of the pot reflects on the trunk. If the pot was on a lighter surface this would be highlighted... I think

nice one ant! this is always gonna push buttons on some people, but i think it works well mate

i see your going for a cascade obviously with this pot.. i do see an informal upright in this tree aswell though

regards jamie

edit- or a windswept

[kcpoole]

Needs to be a full cascade Sorry.

Love the pot though

That is soooooo 80's Ant. (or maybe 70's)

That pot looks like it came from Austin Powers' kiln.

Yea, I think it would grow on me Ant

Good work. It is different, but depends on your taste.

thanks for comments steve and mick.

would love to hear from people who dont like it and why?

Rules , What rules , who said anything about rules .Good onya Antonio , dont go for the green pot it detracts from your variegated juni ,i would however like to see it in a red pot of the same style .A blue juniper would sway me possibly a little more , or one of the dark green and cream varigated junipers in that pot would look quite good ,but hey i use any pot i can get a plant into .And i'm going blind so i have the excuse .Cheers

[anttal63]

alpine i cant wait to meet ya in person!!! well i got a red1 and purple1 too! i'll remeber that for you pal!

[aaron_tas]

well...

i've been trying to pick something not to like about the pot and tree combo, but im sorry ant... after much thought, i like the whole "glow" of the composition, i can see the bright golden sunshine smashin through the clouds on the tree and the cliff after a rain...

thats of course when you've styled it, so... when ya gunna do it
