I took these pictures the other day of some succulent/sedum kusamono plantings that I did a few years ago.

Happy to see this starting to activate again. Our kusamono have been asleep! Here’s a fern I collected along with some wild blueberries and then added some flowers. I’m not the prime example of a kusamono grower as I don’t know the names of these plants :sweat_smile: The fern may be a Polypodium vulgare and I assume the blueberries are Vaccinium myrtillus The fern is the most aggressive and I have to keep it in check as well as the flowering plant. The blueberries are much slower.

Wow!
Eschscholzia californica - it has such a tap root I had not imagined using it this way. Lovely pot as well. Do you know its history?

My latest creation. Geranium caespetosa, Tradescantia pinetorum, and Penstemon sp. on a Stone Monkey tray. I promise I’ll make a photo background soon, sorry for all the busy pics!

A bit of a experiment, those possibly more of an accent than kusamono… A dahlia, if I remember it’s cultivar is pixie but I can’t remember.
