Well for those of you who are discussing accent plants that will stand on their own you should know that this new fad in "weed bonsai" was started in Japan and is all the rage there and that they call it bonsai. But then what do they know?
I know this, a sure sign of someone who knows everything is a closed coffin, until then we all have something more to learn.
Do not be so quick to trash something before you know all about it. For what it is worth the Japanese are quickly developing a catagory of bonsai that is basically accent plants. I know of two Japanese magazines that are centered entirely on these kinds of arrangements. If this is not your cup of tea, fine but why trash it for others?

Just asking.
