I have been growing orchids for 15+ years now. In 2008, I took my first lesson in Sogetsu Ikebana. For me, growing orchids and creating Ikebana arrangements are my meditation. I created this blog to share my pictures and ideas with you. It is like my JOURNAL and helps me keep track of my progress.
This subject was no problem for me! I had collected a few of dried materials, but finding a suitable container was a little problem. Here was my arrangement witch made with dried Cycas Sago Palm (蘇鉄) and bark. The Protea Pincushion was provided.
The pictures below were gradually turned into what it’s now.

One of the three elements “Line, Color and Mass”. The third element is Mass. I had hard time to find a container that I like to use; I also like to bring my own beautiful peonies to be part of it. (6/1/2026)
