Bottlebrush, buddleja, serissa & succulent

This vibrant Saikei brings together three distinct species in a dynamic miniature landscape. The tallest, a 35 cm Bottlebrush with a 3 cm trunk base, forms the backdrop with bold, upright foliage. In the middle ground, a 28 cm Buddleja with a 2 cm base adds natural texture and light branching, while a 24 cm Serissa with a fine 1 cm base softens the front edge. Ground cover of trailing succulent and smooth gravel creates a living forest floor, and a central elephant figurine adds a whimsical focal point, inviting storytelling and visual depth.
