I second that guess.

That's a particularly tasty arrangement of staging, and although I cannot see the type / colour of top dressing to confirm that it's a perfect combination of pot, plant and top rock, I shall venture that that's a piece of living art. Any chance of a profile pic, so we can see the ensemble? Mine never looked that good, but they were in the ground and had to scrounge for meager resources.

For some reason that pic seems like its been touched up a little.

Its beautiful!! It does look almost like a painting! Lovely colors!!

Does look a lot like Fred Ives but one of the nicest specimens I have seen.

I must be having a bad day. I was thinking 'Frank Ives'. I better go back to working . It must be all the fumes. Year sand years of fumes.

Nice plant nicely potted - almost looks like a sculpture...I have seen some metal 'plants' that look almost real.

(found on net - metal cacti, see photo)

Just beautiful! And the metal sculptures do look REAL.

I don't know if the image is modified, but plants in SouCal, given usual conditions, do look exactly like that, only the ones I'm thinking of are / were planted in the ground.

If you get tired that pot anytime soon, I bet there'd be keen interest here if there was a raffle.

Happy plant and pot, the pot makes me think of wavy gravy.

What kind of camera did you use?

I saw that plant and pot on Pinterest. The photo was taken from a different angle. Great pairing of the pot with the plant.
