I only bought it because of the name, which I found hilarious…

Pshhh you can’t do that it has to be a $100.. custom made pot by Tofukuji, only then you’ll get the true experts approval

Planted three years ago. I feel like this one is getting cool.

Some kind of grass from the shore of Lower Kimball pond in Fryeburg Maine. I liked the purple.

My big ol rabbit foot fern is getting to big to accent any of my trees.

Took a workshop with @kusafarms this past weekend at the Midwest show. I learned a lot in those three hours and we also created 3 accent plants as part of the workshop. He also provided an accent plant for my juniper in the show. Best accent I have seen in person. He also creates amazing shohin which I was not aware of this. https://instagram.com/kusafarm?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

My accent plant game is limited, but I did this hosta last summer, really like it - the pot is amazing, need an excuse to use it.
