Why the problem, Brian?

Why the problem, Brian?

It isn't as obvious to us addicts

Running out of spacers:

Wife says we're running out of pot money. Hope I get to the door before her today when FedEx shows up...big pots are harder to stash.

I know that feeling!

Yeah I am pretty partial to blue as well. I have a few blue pots of various shades. This is actually dark blue but it looks black in the photo.

 

[VAFisher]

Pics?
I got a few. No blue.

Two new Iker pots. I like his work.

OK,..I feel like I am the only one who does not get the blue pot joke. I have about 30,..what gives?

As I said, there are blue pots and there are blue pots. Very typically, the cheapest of the non-winterhardy Chinese pots are brightly colored, shiney glazed brilliant blue. May are shaped like bathtubs.

Some blue pots are very nice, but they cost more than a lot of folks on here seem willing to pay -- and you get what you pay for.

Fill more pots, it will seem like you have less
Works every time!

I wonder if people who collect paintings sometimes become obsessed with collecting frames too. I bet they do.

My first pot was green. Can't remember riding my bike home.

After you bought it, did you have the munchies?

Nothing wrong with good blue pots.

OK,..I know what you are talking about. I have favourite haunt that I go to buy mine so I have not had the problem. I thought I had just walked into the forum with a sign on my back that said "kick me I like blue pots!"

 

[0soyoung]

Many of mine are still quite sad.

 

[Tentakelaertje]

A shot of mine. Got a couple in pots, but those are not even close to being blueish. Do white/blue pots count?

 

[aml1014]

Lmfao I didn't notice until this thread that I'm apparently quite partial to blue pots.

I have a bunch of cheap Chinese blue pots, I like them with ''floofy'' pink azaleas, pink bouganvillea, and other gaudy plants. White and or pink orchids look good in electric blue. I do try to avoid acquiring more electric blue chinese pots. There is nothing ''wrong'' with them, great for trees in training, trees that have not achieved a sense of being subtle. Bold and gaudy requires a gaudy pot.

That may explain why Al has an assload of them then.

That's all i've bought lol. I have yet to use them though. I keep all mine in cut down nursery pots. I don't see anything wrong with blue pots i don't care for light blue pots too much dark blue is nice. I do think that red flowering bonsai or red leaves in fall make a nice contrast with any blur color. But im still some what noob to bonsai so shrugs... It was also concluded that blue is also the worlds favorite color...
