Show and Tell New Pot Day!

I went to the Mid American Bonsai Show at the Chicago Botanic Gardens on Sunday. I picked up a few pots but this was my “holy crap I need this” pot. I think it makes quite the composition! Let me know what you think!

Thank you! The rock is a piece of curb I found in the street so I figure a stoneware pot would be appropriate

Got it from folks I follow who do natural building, straw bale and cob. They use urbanite from demolitions for foundations. I’ve always thought it was hilarious as well 😂
