What did you use for the water element? Love it!!! Looks magical.

Bonsai Nut alumnus... we miss you
I agree the water element is EL Grande 
Also that Norfolk will do good for many years BUT only trim the top to keep it from growing to tall. They do not easily back bud on the older lower but if the top is kept under control you should not have a lot of lower die back as you are letting light in
Cool use for a Norfolk and honest won't take a lot to keep it proper!
Edit; Is there a chip along the rim of the pot so the fairies do not think its a trap and avoid it? Old Lore is all

Nice moss too.Seems I can’t find moss anywhere,so bought about 5gallons of live moss scraps on Amazon,going to just mix 50/50 with orchid spahgnum and see if it makes good top dressing for pots......and grow.

I love it!
Glitter glue and blue sand on aluminum foil, so I could manipulate it.
It's been rainy here, so just scraped the moss off of the driveway.Looks like my day off!

Very nice! Watch out for cold weather if you have it outside at all. This winter the weatherman missed the prediction by about 10 degrees and I lost my 4 year old beauty.

Nicely created.
The tree is still fine. Unfortunately the cuphea didn't make it after my co-worker forgot to water it when I was on vacation. I hated that, it flowered constantly.
Thanks, it was fun. I like miniature scenes and such. Funny, I am drawn to the little trees.

I really like this recombination. "Cute'' without any hint of irony.
It has a tropical feel. Like a garden where there are giant leaved tropicals near the bench. The norfolk pines could just as easily be a giant bamboo clump at the Marie Selby Gardens in Sarasota Florida. (good place to visit if you are into flowering tropical trees, orchids, bromeliads, and clumping giant tropical bamboos. A good ''not Disney'' destination about 1.5 hour drive from Orlando Florida.
Funny, while you or I would not immediately consider this ''serious bonsai landscape'' one of the key features of ''serious bonsai'' is that it evokes a feeling reminiscent of a real nature scene. This brought a strong memory back of a real park bench along a path at Marie Selby Gardens. But I guess you'd had to have visited that almost surreal place to appreciate the image.
