Windswept

This is a clerodendron aculeatum that I've been working on, it has now reached the point where I'd like to post it on here for comment.

The composition would benefit from a pot that suggests some open space. The current pot suggests no space at all. It's hardly an inch of open space left. It would look good in a shallow oval tray, with some grasses and other accents here and there. Easy fix. Regards, Attila

Mike, the pot was pretty much what I had available at the time, but I would be interested in potting suggestions/virtuals. I think that this pot is actually a little too "smooth", I think your suggestion of something more primitive might be more workable. It's due for repotting early next year so suggestions are more than welcome. __________________ Best Regards, Leslie St. John Barbados West Indies Remember: Opinions are like bellybuttons, everyone's got one
