Sneak preview project 2015

[ChrisV]

2 years ago I bought some rocks in a gardencenter and stuck them together with a concrete base.
The initial idea was to put it in a large suiban, but unfortunately I haven't found the one I want yet.
In those two years many plants have seen the rock, but i was never satisfied.
This year I had put some moss on it in the hope it would attach to the rock and spread and placed a little thyme plant that flowers purple and a white pine at the base plus a yew cascade on the rock.
They have been growing quite well what I didn't expect btw however i'm still not satisfied with the composition.

So next season they will be replaced by 3 Junipers with nice trunks and deadwood, some mini ferns and the whole thing will get a suiban.

For now a sneak on how it looks today.

What are dimensions so I can grasp the overall awe of it. Very impressive!

The rock is 65cm thats 25.6inch from the pot.
Yew is 25cm/9.8inch from the top of the jin to the tip of the foliage and the white pine is 20cm/7.9 inch from the pot.

That is what I thought it was before I actually read the information.

The call it leisteen obelisk here were obelisk is just the shape.
I think it is called something like slate in english.
But indeed it kinda looks like petrified wood, but it isn't.
