PHS Philadelphia Flower Show 2020- Ikebana (7) The last one

I am so glad that I am able to complete all three rotations of Ikebena arrangements displayed at the flower show. The 2nd rotation's pictures (see below) were forwarded to me by my friend, because I was not there in person.

PHS Philadelphia Flower Show 2020- Ikebana (6)

These arrangements below were the third rotation from Friday to Sunday (the last day). I was there to do my duty on Friday, to be a hostess in the Ikebana section for two hours. All I had to do was just answer the viewer's questions about Ikebana.

These three arrangements were my demo pieces at flower show

PHS Philadelphia Flower Snow 2020 - Ikebana (5)

Below is the first rotation of Ikebana arrangements (3 rotations in total), all major Ikebana schools evenly participated in each rotation in the flower show's Ikebana section. This year's feature arrangement for the whole Ikebana show fell on Sogetsu BuxMont Study Group. As you could see here (the first picture) they used a lot of Japanese quince branches, king protea, mum and other materials.
They did a very beautiful arrangement and got many compliments!
