I watched a unboxing video of your pots on the Bonsaify Youtube channel yesterday.
I love your pots and the attention for details with the wrapping and the nice wooden boxes.
If I win this giveaway I will put a nice little Sekka Hinoki in it.

Very cool!
Your pots are beautiful.
I would use Portulacaria Afra in a Mame pot like that!

Count me in!!
OOOO, I have an anisondontea capensis, that would look wonderful in that. Or maybe a violet star cutting 
You won't be counted if you don't name what you would put in it.

Years ago I used to put orchids in these types of very small pots, for use as kusamono. Most likely I would put a Promemanaea in the pot, but the others are possibilities. Below are examples of the types of kusamono I would make with the pot. These are all examples of kusamono I created over the years. They tend to take 3 or more years to grow out to the point where they fill the pot. In 2009 I had some health issues and all of these perished during "the great drought". But I post them as the types of orchids that can be used to make kusamono like plantings. Images are thumbs.
Promenenaea species and hybrids work well
Stelis species are twig epiphytes from South America.
Oerstadella or now a days Epidendrum centradenia - this one gets taller than the others, upwards of a foot tall, but it has a reedy, bamboo look out of bloom, could be used for larger bonsai.
Dryadella edwallii is a twig epiphyte from Nicaragua. It grows on twigs overhanging streams. It is a tiny plant, with tiny triangle shaped flowers, that smell like the slime from a freshly caught bluegill fish. Its pollinator lays its eggs on fish freshly washed up on shore. This photo is a 4 inch diameter shallow pot, and it has over 350 flowers in bloom. I really felt bad when I lost this one. But luckily I had split it up, and given away a couple divisions. One friend has promised to give me a piece this summer. The piece will be only a fraction of the size of the original, but at least I'll have it again.
Restrepia is a genus of twig epiphytes from Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. They have weird but colorful flowers. This one is actually Restrepia guttata, even though it is labeled R. antenifera, the two species are similar.

The Epidendrum centradenia is really nice. I'm going to search a few for myself.

I absolutely love these little pots you are making, they are giving me a reason to want to try something that small. I hope to buy one when I have the spare change!
