Holland: Flowering the World" (3) - Ikebana

The flower show ran from 3/11 to 3/19/2017. The display section of Ikebana arrangements was  divided into three rotations (to keep flowers fresh and to give more ikebanaists a chance to show their arrangements), and included four schools (Sogetsu, Ohara, Ikenobo and Ichiyo). I was on volunteer duty on the opening day, Saturday, for two hours. I have never seen so many people come to see the show and view the Ikebana arrangements. Within that two hours, I had to answer all these questions about Ikebana and promote Ikebana International. A person told me that she likes the Ikebana section the most. A lot of people admired the Ikebana's artistic creations. Below are the arrangements for the first rotation only. If you like to see other 2 rounds of the Ikebana exhibition, you can check the website of  Ikebana International Philadelphia Chapter #71: http://ikebanaphiladelphia.org/w/.
