Is the second one Wabi Sabu?

 

[Nelson]

No,aquarium.

I think got the aquascaper mixed up with Frank wertzer? The ADA USA expert who does Wabi Sabi scapes.These are really something though

 

[Nelson]

Ok,no answer .
Well this is my first attempt.Just plants that were in my greenhouse,done today.
Bowl was £2.99,I think , from Home Bargains.



On a side note,found this.Never bought from them,so don't know what they're like.

Nice mate very nice, glass in the link looks good too for the money, isn't wabi-kusa a term coined by ADA ? So you would be correct the image in your first link would be kusamono.

 

[Nelson]

So you would be correct the image in your first link would be kusamono.

And yet it won EAPLC Wabi Kusa category 2015 !.

Probably because the term wabi-kusa is now used to describe any aquatic plants grown emersed, I should of lifted the driftwood out of my low tech and entered

 

[Nelson]

Ah,that kind of makes sense .
Thanks Tim .

Ok,no answer .

Falls under the same category of Kasamono: http://www.usna.usda.gov/Gardens/faqs/Kusamono.html

It seems Wabi Kusa can't even literaly be translated, so far i understand it means something with Serenity and beauty..
So who is or can be intitled to say what is what? As long as you don't grow a large plant on a tree like piece of wood.. Than it would be a Kokedama ??
Yada Yada!? What's in the name? Anyway looks good what you made Nelson..

Hi Nelson,

Looking good The soil should just be damp though

 

[BruceF]

What about kokedama?

 

[Greenfinger2]

Hi All.
Wabi- Kusa Is an arrangement of Aquatic plants grown emersed.

Kokedama Is an arrangement of house plants or any plants even weeds.

Here is a link to a couple I done
