My interest in kusamono has gone from innocent interest to full-fledged addiction.  I see a very big gap in the quality and quantity of kusamono in America.  I may actually learn how to post pics on here.....  Anyone have something origional or rare? Perhaps using natives or in a creative container?

Nice.  I will start posting tomorrow. 

Here's a new post: http://bonsaiunearthed.com/fujikawa-kouka-en/a-few-kusamono/

What can you tell us about that planting?  What's the container and what are the plants?  How long has it been planted?

"It looks like a piece of corrugated metal..." It is...we call it roofing
A fairly new composition. Australian violet and blood grass.

Here's an older one with more mochi- komi. 4 years and 9 years in the tray.
Vaccinium reticulatum. Endemic to the Hawaiian chain. Ohelo berry.

The only example I've seen as kusamono.

humm, yest. post didn't make it.  Shima, love the blood grass, but it says it grows to about 2'.  How do you keep it that short?

Thanks
Chris

Thanks Shima, I had no idea you could do such a drastic cut back on grasses like that during the yr.  Very surprising!

Could pass as a Hawaiin mountain stone!

Nice
