Flowers, flowers in bloom






I did enjoy the art of flower arrangement yesterday. My husband advised me to take some of the flowers from the yard and because there are plenty of blooms gathered some of the crystal vases and ceramic tea pot and used them as flower vase. It was fun alright. I like those dry twigs from the hazel nut tree which remind me of an ornament for my ikebana flower arrangement and it looked absolutely rewarding. Ikebana is the Japanese flower arrangement and it's popularly known as "heaven and earth." Some women will enrol themselves in school on this entertaining art to learn the Japanese way but my knowledge on this is based from a book. Besides it depends on the availability of flowers and other ornaments to make fabulous bouquet of flowers.
