Default [IBC] BT#84 Takagi pot comp wonderings

Dale...thanks for posting the photos.

I really like the 2nd photo. I find the balance very pleasing at least
from a visual sense. I also like the tree and how the colors of the
"pot" compliment it. It is certainly not what I would call a
traditional or natural pot but it works for me. I would like to have
seen the rectangular elements, especially the smaller one have a more
rough or less perfect rectangular shape at the top.

The fist picture is actually an interesting pot in that as much as my
first impression was that they left it in the sun too long my long-term
impression was that of a rocky hillside on the edge of a small stream.
I'm not sure the Wisteria works for me but then again I'm not a big fan
of Wisteria. I would love to see a willow potted in that pot and see it
sitting in a large unglazed brown ceramic tray perhaps even with a blue
glaze inside the tray only. I think this would add to its appeal. I
also would like to see the back of the pot continue the upward slop to
get more of the hillside/streamside feel.

The third photo just reminds me of those old 70's "hand" chairs. I
wasn't crazy about them then and I'm still no big fan. I do like the
Azalea.

== Andy and all,
== I posted a few changed trees or new pots/trees to the gallery.

all.
