Ikebana in November Colors

without comments

Every ikebana is different.  The seasons change, leaves, flowers and branches blossom and fade away.  So each ikebana is like a snapshot photograph in time.  Cymbidium orchids and magnolia leaves mark today.

Orchid Baskets – Make Way…

without comments

Something else had to go to the photo archives to display more Orchid Basket designs,

And several other floral designs got moved around on the web pages.  That’s the way it is in cyberspace. 

Here are two floral design photographs that went for a rest in this shuffle:

The smaller one, on the left, will probably make a come-back soon because it has fall colors and it is fall. 

The large arrangement on the right is a designer’s favorite, and we would like to find a new place for it on the .

Below are the newly displayed Orchid Baskets with live phalaenopsis arranged with fresh cuts of leaves, flowers, mosses, berries, branches.  Yukiko crafts each design differently in the studio – after all, that’s what “original” means.
