It’s a raining and cloudy Father’s Day! I stayed at home preparing for up coming class lessons. At the same time, I used a lot of feverfew tiny flowers that I picked from my garden to make an arrangement “Mass, Line and Color”, in the basket. (6/15/2025)

I just realized what a busy schedule I have in June! Besides doctor’s appointments and class lessons. I also attended I.I. Philadelphia Chapter #71’s event for 60th anniversary celebration luncheon, and went to Brandywine Museum of art to check the site, which MainLine branch will be holding an annual exhibition in the last week of this month. I have no mood to do Ikebana during this time period! But it’s time to post my orchids, they are blooming all around from April to June now. Five are Oncidium orchids, only one is Cattleya (Apple Blossom). Some faded and some are still going strong.

Summer is coming! Spring flowers are almost gone. I would like to make a couple of arrangements using irises before they disappeared from my garden.
Materials: Japanese irises, Solomon seal and tiny wild flower / bamboo baskets
Here is my last peony arrangement! A small simple piece of ikebana with no particular subject.
Materials: peony, zinnia, ninebark, and small wild white flowers / ceramic
