"Dutch something or the other" 120 Gal

[Edvet]

Looks super healthy and a great work of art. (just not my kind of art, but hey: de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum)

Post Erio compressum thinning, I removed 15 plants actually.




Blood vomits have done well and are pretty easy actually.

If I had not seen your post to AGA Facebook page I would still be thinking that E Compressum is a small plant... Its hard to get a sense of scale sometimes 🙂

Sure, I'll show up with this:



I'll put an ADA label on it, using only the tears of unicorns for fuel.

Wonderful colors and plants. Like a box of candies 😉

I like the view from the left side the best. Other views are to busy for my liking. Healthy and a testimony to skill, but to busy.

 

[plantbrain]

Well, I have not trimmed the other side much lately, so it's a bit over grown, whereas I had just mowed the left.
There's 3-4 plant groups that need to fill in again somewhat.
But in a couple of months, it should be primed.

I have a new idea and direction for the next incarnation.

Needed some time to read from start to end.love what your doing. nothing to do with Dutch but that's for purists. Love the quality and health of your plants well done

 

[plantbrain]

Some influences are from Dutch, some personal and some Nature. Developing one's own style is as good as copying the best styles. Both skills are needed to learn and keep the different ideas going in the hobby.

Looks better than ever to me!

 

[Mr. Teapot]

I love the joyful mix of influences. I think the aquascaping part of our hobby is pretty much dominated by the asian aesthetic ideals - so refreshing to see a more western idea of gardening being mixed in so skilfully. Nothing more lovely than a summer garden with deep beds of structured planting.

It's been one heck of a journey...maybe it's time to do a 'From this to this'...although there have been a fair few transitions in between so maybe it wouldn't quite do it justice...
