“Brighten My Day” (11/9/2024)

Rearranged at home 

Perfectly Imperfect

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).
