##Prized Possession## Sometimes less is more. A few striking plants with a favourite sculpture or objet added for a personal touch instantly become a work of art. **Get the look** A prized Buddha sits atop cascading bamboo grass and a golden juniper in a simple chartreuse container. For heightened impact, select plantings and a pot within the same colour family. **Tip** Push bamboo stakes vertically into the container to create support for your sculpture or ornament. **Plants** * Bamboo grass (*Agrostis stolonifera* ‘Green Twist’) * Golden juniper (*Juniperus horizontalis* ‘Mother Lode’)
