Put this one together a few days ago. Edge-of-the-woods autumnal planting. The mushrooms are temporary but I hope they'll be replaced with some growing from a fungus-bearing piece of wood I've buried in the pot.
Which display do you think works better - the wood slice or the slats? Nice composition......My Vote - slats.
That one was from a native plant nursery. I have others I've collected or grown from seed.Indian paintbrush?.....from seed or dig you dig it?
Love the color. Couldn't find a pink one.Nice! How do you overwinter it? I thought they’d be hardy here, but it didn’t make it through last winter. Had to start over:

Amazon Prime, if you can believe it!Love the color. Couldn't find a pink one.
That's amazing! What is it, and how long does it bloom? It looks like you've carefully trained it, and kept it alive quite a while!
very cool! That's better than makeshift.View attachment 162276 My make-shift greenhouse made from sliding glass door replacements. Nights 54 F. Days 62 F.
That could almost pass for a bona fide bonsai!My erodium:

The entire length of it has been carved out and so is a branch. After what I suspect to be a chipmunk (they like to hang around all the plants and dig in pots) took a chunk out of it, rot quickly spread and it dropped many of its leaves. I've now got a new front and will pot it at the angle I'm holding it at. It just needs a new pot and for more leaves to grow back.
Erodium aka heron's bill is a small woody plant related to geraniums. Mine blooms year round.That's amazing! What is it, and how long does it bloom? It looks like you've carefully trained it, and kept it alive quite a while!
What time of year does it maintain those temps? Do you have supplemental heat in there in Winter?View attachment 162276 My make-shift greenhouse made from sliding glass door replacements. Nights 54 F. Days 62 F.
Being from Erie, you and I have a very similar climate (5b) . I will start bringing my temperate stuff inside in a few weeks, when the nights are consistently in the mid to lower 40's. The season seems a little extended this year. There is supplemental electric heat with a thermostat that ramps the heat up a down. Energy bills aren't to bad with a real roof and insulation. Are you in the Cleveland club?What time of year does it maintain those temps? Do you have supplemental heat in there in Winter?
