Huge centerpiece by our two master gardeners.
It's truly a beautiful masterpiece.

I arranged this free style Ikebana for display. The vase is a Japanese bronze antique and the branches are Japanese quince.

I only have this Cymbidium to show for the celebration. I have five other freshly blooming orchids at Longwood Gardens (they have an orchid show this weekend) to present with our B.C. Orchid Society entry--together we have about 40 plants to exhibit. Hopefully we can get a prize, we got 2nd place last year. (3/24/10)
I love your arrangement. It's so beautiful--my favorite so far! I love the branches and the color. So graceful.
