I've always been a fan of bonsai pots though never made a bonsai. Miniature planting has also been of interest and surprisingly doing anything small seems to be as much if not more than doing the bigger planting. Here's a planter done up to make use of the pot and a figurine I had. Not quite miniature but I did have to use a teaspoon, dental probe and long tweezers to make it happen. Actually the figurine is too big in scale to the planting but she was the smallest I had for this size planting.
Plants included are Crassula mesembryanthemoides, Crassula arborescens undulatifolia, Sedum acre and Sedum palladium ssp bithynicum

Bev.Those mini landscapes ate great.
My Santa Rosa order came and I had to plant the basket.
We are having fierce wind gusts ,nearly had to chase the order to the next county.

Sea urchins...hmm, got to look at pic again...and you are right! Nice natural planting, JoAnn. Thumbs up PS I just got Green Wheel myself. I have a hard time finding just green. When I saw GW I had to buy immediately. Just hope they are not mounding type...I don't like that growing form as much.

Mounding type? Oh my. I never considered that.
This is the image that got me.Looks more like a carpet here but other google pix are mounding unless you know of a true mounder.
