I guess I can only post one pic a time. Well I had 2 more to post. Oh well. :(

If Larry is still there, he could show you a few pointers. He is known for his plant staging.
Anyhow, your first attempt would be considered a success in my opinion.

Thanks. :) Larry is still at California Cactus Center I showed this one to him to see what he thought. He liked it very much. Grammer Approved. :)

What exactly is meant by "Cactus Staging"???

If I don't get it right, please chime in.
Cacti Staging - Planting something in a certain way to "showcase" or "highlight" the plant. Maybe you have a unique or shallow pot - that's what they use for bonsaii plants quite often. Or, a plant with an unusaul twist in the trunk. You want this plant to stand out, so you "stage" it by using pots and/or top dressing to make it's uniqueness the main focus.

Ah, I see! Well, I take those things into consideration with every plant and every pot I choose. I always try to choose a pot that will show the plant's best features.
