I'm a member as well.
Did you come to the Bonsai Show this year? There was a contingency this year from Erie. I may have met you when we tore everything down on the second day.

Interesting tile for the strawberry.
It's actually an accent pot/tile but I don't remember who made it. I really like it when I saw it. I'm really liking wild strawberries for accent plants they are easy to grow and prolific.

I found some of that "fireworks grass" (That's what I call it) to plant next year! Nice!

This is Japanese Blood grass I think. I started with a small clump in a very shallow pot and every spring I separate it into a few more pots. It looks awesome but it can get a bit tall to pair with a tree.

Oh, wait you were talking about the other grass. "Fireworks Grass" is a good name I think of it like as a papyrus . I just found that growing in a corner of my yard. It reseeds every year so it spreads like crazy. It shows up everywhere and I'm constantly pulling it from my pots.

I think it’s one of mine. Always interesting to see where they end up and how it got there. Thanks!

Awesome. I can't recall who I bought it from, but it was a couple years ago on one of the facebook auction sites. What's your name?

Well it was, its gone now.
Got home from picking everyone up and the pot was tipped over with no plant or soil left.

There is absolutely no sign of soil anywhere, can't find a trace of it or the plant.

That has to officially be the quickest foray into accent plants in history.

So word theft and plant theft in one day?
