The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show is normally held in early March at the Pennsylvania convention center. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2021 Flower show took place on June 5-13, outside in the city’s historic FDR Park for the first time in its 193 year history. The theme this year was “Habitat: Nature’s Masterpiece.”
Because it was an outdoor exhibit this year, there were no individual ikebana arrangements. Instead, they asked four Sogetsu study groups to each create a large bamboo structure.
We met our Sensei and some classmates at the flower show, most of all to see our Mainline study group’s team’s work: Bamboo Sculpture. I am proud to say that I was able to work on a small part of it, on our bamboo interwoven structure. It was the hottest and the most humid day (6/7), Plus we did a lot of walking, so I didn’t see much and felt so tired!
