A very nice pot Madahhlia, bit out of my price range though.

Hope you dont mind me mentioning but from a growing point of view and practicality I've always wondered why people make plant pots that are narrower at the top than in the middle.
Two reasons, if you grow a specimen plant in such a pot you cant pot it on without smashing the pot first, and second, if it was widest at the top frost would not be a problem, the root ball would just lift and then go back down on thawing.
Sorry to be negative mate, just one of my bugbears.:D

 

Hi Pete, good point you've raised - it is not necessarily that practical as a plant container. I just like making things that shape! But it would be good if i thought a bit more about that next time.
