Some people make New Year resolutions to get fitter or read more. My NY resolution was to have more flowers in my home. The goal for 2025 was to establish a cut flower garden that enabled me to have fresh arrangements in the house without buying them.
Cut to Autumn 2025...playing with Ikebana philosophies and creating floral arrangements.
The basics of Ikebana is:
- Using lines formed by plant stems
- Using flowers as focal points (I wanted to focus on tiny flowers)
- Abiding by the concept of minimalism
- A three-pointed structure
- A found form instead of one that was created
- Seasonal appearance
- Removing elements instead of adding them
Is it a pleasing arrangement to photograph? Nope. But, I'm really intrigued by the different shapes and forms.
