[IBC] BT#84 Takagi pot comp wonderings
Lynn,
I agree with both your statements below. I found the Bonsai InSites pots to be less "Wild" in colors than some of Takagi's pot winners, but I rarely see a Takagi winner that I don't think would have a nice look if correct tree was placed in it, but, some of the InSites pots just NEVER would . I keep thinking of the two of which one looked like a smashed cardboard box and the other looked like a ...I hate to say it but....Trash can!----- But, some matched VERY nice. Getting back to size consideration. MANY of Takagi's pots would make wonderful accent plant pots if smaller. I think MOST would agree with this? But, it's the SIZE of many and the thought of a styled "classical" important word here) tree in them that turns most off. I'd love to see some "off the wall" trees virtualy potted in some of the "off the wall" Takagi pots. or, some more "off the wall" trees virtually planted in some of the Bonsai InSites pots.

In other words, the potter had pictures and measurements of the trees he was creating the pot for. SNIP However,Some matched wonderfully to the chosen tree. Regards, Dale ----------------------------- Dale, I was very interested, too. One thought went through my mind continually as I kept studying them. I wished some of them had thought more "organically" then geometricly. As these newer designed trees seem to have less formality of shape than classic they appear more organic in nature and the pot needs to do so, too - for my wish. In the Takagi exhibit I recall being turned off by some colorings, where, again, I would prefer they remain earthen colors- which can still be other than brown, but neutralized to such terms as sienna, ochre - the natural earthen shades, just another unity of design with the tree.
