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.

Asian Culture Night
Our teacher Ms. Lin gave a brief talk about ikebana flower arranging.
Every second Friday, the Indian Vally Public Library (Montgomery County) hosts a special event. On August 13th, our teacher Ms. Lin held a program to commemorate her daughter's life (she passed away at the age of 13 and was a big bookworm). Ms. Lin collected, donated and contributed a lot of books related to Asian culture to the library in honor of her beloved daughter.
Beside Ms. Lin's ikebana flower arrangement demo, her students' ikebana arrangements were on display. Also, a fellow student Ms. Tsai hosted a tea ceremony ("How to make good tea? Just put your heart in it") and our friend Ms. Lu gave a calligraphy demo. This was an enjoyable evening everybody will remember.
Very beautiful arrangements. I enjoy growing orchids and love to see them beautifully displayed.
