New Pots From Ian Baillie

I was lucky to have access to a great collection of Ian Baillie pots at a club event this weekend past and I got my hands on some great pots. Sunday saw me repotting a few trees. Here are the results…

A dwarf Willow with a nice heavy base. This is it’s first time in a small pot and is in the first steps of styling this year. Tree is roughly 10cm tall.

A great pot with stunning detail.

This was the old pot and tree as acquired back in June last year.

A root over rock Rose. We had fun selecting a pot for this one. It’s a touch large as it sits but should make a stunning image when it produces pink flowers this year.

Maple Repot

I managed to get my Shohin Maple repotted yesterday morning. It’s now in it’s new Ian Baillie pot. Thanks Ian.

Pots by Baillie

One of the benifits of going to the BSA exhibition was the change to get my hands on an Ian Baillie pot. I’ve been looking for a new pot for a shohin maple and I was hoping to find one on Ian’s stand. It didn’t take long. This was my find.

I also picked one up for a little Chojubai quince which was potted up on the Sunday of the show, more on that in another post.
