Please read the rules. No visible water And it is so clear this was GROWN in water! It would have been so easy to present it that way!

Creative minimalist layout that stands out. More plants and more detail on the wabikusa ball or spillover of plants on the inner container would have added more interest.

Additional Information The tile of this Wabi Kusa translated from Japanese means 'Chaos and Control'. This Wabi Kusa represents a balance between the beautiful chaos of nature and the controlling hand that maintains it. It cannot be allowed to grow too wild, for it will look unruly. And yet it would lose all its beauty and look artificial if its growth suffered under too much control.

Note: The water level was lowered for the aesthetics of the photo.
