Autumn tokonoma display at the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum in DC currently. Mostly a native aster and grasses in the kusamono

I really need to get on the kusimono. I have a couple pots much more suitable for that than trees, and I don't have many trees worth looking at yet anyway.

You owe a photo!
Kinda cheating, but the only photo of an accent plant I have on had. Tears of Joy mini hosta with a trident maple forest for our club show two weeks ago

Promenea Partridge, an orchid hybrid in a 2 inch diameter pot. Hybrid originally made by Leon Glichtenstein of Hoosier's Orchids. The plant is no longer with me, just strolling thru my photo archive and thought I'd share a blast from the past.
Promenea are easy to grow, keep moist, this was grown in long fiber sphagnum. Bright shade, this was under old fashioned T-12 fluorescent shop lights. Very susceptible to snails and slugs.

And now I want to go find a desert lilly, except it won't be in bloom until next summer.
You will most certainly get it.

Another kusamono at NBPM in DC. I thinned this out only three weeks ago (I'm a volunteer there) and it's exploded with new growth. Ophiopogon (black mondo grass) and some type of ferns. This one gives me a lot of Jurassic Park vibes

Possible kusamono or shitakusa ?...
Anyway, one of my sons has a new flat, and a new job back to our hometown. Daddy went with him to a garden center because he wanted to repot some plants (a chip from the old block : he travelled hundreds of mile and kept his plants). We - I ! that's what dads are for ;°) bought some plants and pots and soil, but I couldn't resist buying some colour for the crassula cuttings I have by a window :
Not nice colours because of the flashlight, but the little Hypoestes adds some white to the green :
I also chose two Fittonia among others, a dark red, but the light green with red veins is absolutely gorgeous in "real life" :
Maybe they could make nice "accent plants"...
