To keep our President happy why don't we post pictures of our plants in nice looking pots rather than clay/plastic.
I have always thought the Americans have got it right!
Hers my starter Crassula namaquensis in its blue ceramic home- one of my favourite pots.

Re: Nice pots- with plants (No clay/plastic)
Excellent Tina. I really like the Aloe pot! I am pleased/relieved someone else has posted in the thread I was beginning to think folk don't grow in anything other than plain clay or plastic pots.
Interesting both you and Colin like fancy pots, I believe you worked together? who convinced who?

Re: Nice pots- with plants (No clay/plastic)
Lovely plants and pots Ernie and Tina 
I'm slowly coming round to decorative pots instead of plastic, particularly the long-lasting nicely glazed ones. Ernie's £4 garden-centre one normally retails at £9.99 so you got a good deal there!

Re: Nice pots- with plants (No clay/plastic)
I like your pots Ernie and agree fully that our plants are enchanted by tasteful pots. Bonsai pots for adros go well. I will see if I can post some photos.
