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.

Keeping in mind the view from below
This arrangement should keep in mind that it must be viewed from below, just above eye-level. I found a small wild rose bush in the wooded area near my house. I cut the whole bush out and carefully trimmed the branches. I reserved one particular branch that was hanging down, then I added two philodendron selloum, yellow and white daffodils, and last, I put one white hyacinth close to the container's rim so that the view from below can be focused there. My teacher loved it. At home, I put it on a high pedestal.
