July 2014 - Plants in Perfect Pots

[rodsmith]

I make them at a pottery class. They are fun to make and don't require much skill, I'm not a mastercraftsman. It is good to make a pot with a plant in mind, though.

Terrific, Liz. I'm envious.

I shot the neighbours annoying tortoise last year as it was eating it's way through my lettuce patch. Apparently it was some kind of endangered species and they were a bit upset until I made it into a pot for them

Testudo haworthiodes?

You can be assured that the tortoise was not harmed during this or even last century, it was rescued from a museum and had a label for India 1896 on it.

I think the tortoise pot would have worded better if each "leg" was a similar size.

I have also looked at a few definitions of pot and as far as this judge is concerned everything seen so far is a pot so no NAS will be awarded for any entry prior to this post

My wife and I bought one of these plants recently at a garden centre but it had no label. Do you know the name, Liz? I believe it's a Sedum and I assume it's hardy but I don't have a species name.
