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.
I have moved all my orchids and house plants inside the house already, since the weather has been turning colder, especially at night. When I cleaned my house plants Philodendron, I trimmed some yellow and dead leaves, I used that not perfect leaves to arrange in a tall vase with mum, bittersweet and semi-dry Hydrangea. I named the title “Perfectly Imperfect” (缺陷美).
