BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of a plant ornamental display according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a state where Iwahiba 12 is planted as an ornamental plant on a support 10 made of natural stone as one embodiment of an ornamental display for plants. In the present embodiment, on the outer surface of the natural stone of the support 10,
Iwahiba 12 is arranged so that it stands up, and Iwahiba 12
A moss 14 is placed around the planted area to support the iwaba 12 and the iwaba 12 naturally grows on the rock.

Iwahiba is a fern plant and grows on rocks in the mountains. Fine branch-like leaves dense with scaly small leaves extend branching from the stem. The stems growing from the ground are brown, and the whole Iwahiba looks like pine. That is why it is called Iwamatsu. 30 cm after years
To some extent, large ones are rare. In a watery environment, the leaves grow like a pine, but in a dry environment, the leaves shrink. Generally, it is often potted as a bonsai tree for viewing.

Since Iwahiba grows on rocks in the mountains, it is difficult for ordinary people to collect natural Iwahiba. It is used for ornamental purposes as it branches into green branches and expands when it is given water. In this embodiment, the Iwahiba 12 is used as the natural stone support 1
By arranging it so that it is planted at 0, the appearance of Iwahiba growing on the rock is expressed, and the display is natural and excellent. The planting of Wakaba 12 together with moss 14 gives a more natural feeling. The Iwahiba 12 is appropriately arranged while observing the shape of the natural stone of the support 10.

In the plant ornamental display of this embodiment, volcanic rock is used as the support 10. This is because by using volcanic rocks for the support base 10, it is possible to express the rough atmosphere of the rocks, and it is possible to accurately express how the Iwahiba 12 grows naturally on the rocks in the mountains. This is to utilize the effect that water is easily absorbed because it is porous, and that the water retention is easy to supply to Iwahiba 12. The reason why the moss 14 is adhered to the outer surface of the natural stone of the support 10 and the iwaba 12 is supported by the moss 14 is that the water retention of the moss 14 is used to replenish the wahiba 12 with water. .

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the internal structure of the support base 10. As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the sardines 12 are attached to the outer surface of the support 10 to express the sardines growing from the natural stone.
Iwahiba 1
It is necessary to replenish 2 with a certain amount of water. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the through holes 16 are drilled in the natural stone (volcanic rock) of the support 10 and the water absorbing material 18 is passed through the through holes 16. The through-hole 16 is provided so as to penetrate from the outer surface of the support base 10 toward the bottom surface of the support base 10 in accordance with a portion where the so-called hiba 12 is arranged.

The water absorbing material 18 passed through the through holes 16 is for replenishing water to the so-called hiba 12, and a material excellent in water absorbing property such as woven cloth or non-woven cloth can be preferably used. A thin string-shaped water absorbent material 18 is inserted into the through hole 16 to
The lower end of the base extends a certain length from the bottom surface of the support base 10. Reference numeral 18a is an extending portion of the water absorbent material 18. Also,
The upper end of the water absorbent material 18 is slightly extended from one opening end of the through hole 16 and is covered with the moss 14. As a result, when replenishing water, the so-called hiba 12 is connected to the bottom surface of the support base 10 via the water absorbent material 18 passing through the through hole 16.

When it is used as a display indoors, as shown in FIG.
Use with 0 added. The bottom of the support base 10 is always the container 2
By replenishing the container 20 with water so that it is immersed in 0 water, the water-absorbing material 18 extending from the bottom side of the support 10
The water in the container 20 is sucked up from the container and the water is replenished to the Iwahiba 12. As described above, by providing the through holes 16 inside the support base 10 and allowing the water absorbent 18 to pass through the through holes 16, it is possible to reliably supply water to the sardines 12 and the sardines 12 are removed. You can grow in a good environment. Water is supplied only to the container 20, and the operation is easy.

In this embodiment, since porous volcanic rocks are used for the supporting base 10, the water sucked up from the bottom surface of the supporting base 10 through the water absorbent 18 is stored inside the volcanic rock which is the supporting base 10. The water is also soaked in and retained by the support base 10 itself. Forming the support base 10 from a porous stone such as volcanic rock is effective in improving the water retention property. When the water is stored in the container 20 at a certain depth, the end of the water absorbent material 18 is not extended from the bottom surface of the support base 10 and the water that has entered the through holes 16 is absorbed by the water absorbent material 18. It is also possible to suck it up.
The through holes 16 provided in the support base 10 can be provided at appropriate positions according to the arrangement position of the so-called hiba 12. Also,
The water-absorbent material 1 to be inserted into the through hole 16 also has a hole diameter of the through hole 16.
It can be appropriately set according to the thickness of No. 8.

Instead of using natural stones such as volcanic rocks as the support stand 10 for Iwahiba, it is also possible to use the support stand 10 shaped like a natural stone by resin molding. In this case, the through hole 16 may be formed at the same time when the resin is formed. Support stand 10 formed by resin molding
Also in this case, the water-absorbent material 18 is passed through the through-holes 16 and installed in a container containing water, so that water can be suitably supplied from the water-absorbent material 18 to the plants.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which the support base 10 is formed by resin molding. This embodiment is characterized in that the outer shell portion 22 is formed by resin molding so as to have an outer shape of natural stone, and the water absorbent material 24 is filled inside the outer shell portion 22. A through hole 26 is provided at an appropriate position in the outer shell portion 22, and a water absorbing material 28 is attached to the through hole 26. The through hole 26 is a position for planting a plant such as Iwahiba 12, and may be provided at an appropriate position on the outer shell portion 22. The method of filling the inside of the outer shell portion 22 with the water absorbent material 24 has an advantage that the water contained in the container 20 is absorbed by the water absorbent material 24 and the water supply to the plant is more suitably performed.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the water absorbed from the water absorbent material 24 is supplied to the wrinkle 12 through the water absorbent material 28. Of course, the root of the Iwahiba 12 may be planted by inserting it from the through hole 26 into the outer shell portion 22. The moss 14 is provided for the purpose of improving the water retention function and the appearance. As the moss 14, processed moss made of resin or the like can be used in addition to natural moss. When the support base thus formed by resin molding is used, there are advantages that the support base can be mass-produced and that the support base can be easily colored and designed. As a result, it can be displayed as a natural-looking display or can be provided as a display with a new design.

Since the ornamental displays for plants of the above-described embodiments have a structure in which water is sufficiently supplied to the plants, even if the plants require constant water supply, such as Iwahiba. It can be used without worrying about water supply. In particular, since it is only necessary to replenish the container 20 with water, anyone who is not an expert can handle it. The ornamental display for plants according to the present invention is not limited to Iwahiba, and various plants can be planted on the support base for use. Since the water supply to the plant is sufficiently performed, it is possible to maintain the plant in a good state and provide the plant with a good-looking display for viewing.
