Me too! Cause then you know you're on the right track and all is well with the world. And blooms are surely on the way!

I love those Amani. . .they're so classic. Like that perfect, little black dress.

well ill have to agree on the neo but as for me, my closet is without a little black dress

Me too. I am more of the jeans, orchid board sweatshirt & big fuzzy socks type, I am sorry to say.

Maybe I should have said the Amani is the classic tuxedo of the Neo world? LOL

My pots arrived today!! I can't wait to play with them this weekend!

Now, if only I didn't have to wait so long for the plants!!

Those pots are fab-U-lous! Really, really fabulous!! And you got them really fast!

As I've been searching the web for various kinds of pots, I keep finding those moon shaped ones in the bonsai pot sections. I found a few photos potted up with cascade style bonsai but I have NOT seen any potted up with Neos! You may be starting something new here.

I can't wait to see them all potted up!!!!! I just hate it that it's gonna take so long to get your plants.

Does the moon shaped one have holes in the bottom for drainage? I like those little splashes of glaze on it too!

I am currently, going nutballs over mini bonsai, hand-made accent pots. . .boy-o, are there some amazing ones out there! I haven't bought any yet! But I did buy a little display table and a couple of hand-made pots. I have not found THE pot yet. Will keep you all posted. LOLOL

They are so unusual. I'm anxious to see what you do with them. Hurry and then post pictures. We will all be waiting.............

[shakkai]

Thanks everyone!! Neither of these are THE pots... There's no way I could wait that long before using them so my existing plants are going to go into these.

Gwen, yes, the moon shaped one has 1 large and two small drainage holes in the bottom. I was toying with the idea of trying to string some wire through the two smaller holes to see if it would balance hanging up... It would be a very delicate balance if it did, so its probably not a good idea.

When I ordered them, the flat one was my favourite, but seeing them together, I must say the moon one is really growing on me. I like it more each time I look at it - the sign of a great pot. The drip glaze is fantastic, isn't it?

Gwen, I love those little accent pots as well, but I've never seen one in person. Do those have holes in the bottom? (And good news about that swirled bowl - I was able to drill a hole in the bottom without breaking it!!! So I have another option as well.)
