I threw my Ikebana caution to the wind and tried to make a standard 7 plant-material moribana, as the Japanese do, using only what I found in my yard (which is the Kozan school way.) The Daikagura, or camillia, and the Jack-in-the-Pulpit Calla lily are both the main features of my front yard, so they are the most prominent in this display. I also found and used a creeping ivy tendril, a fiddle-top fern sprout, a lush, leafy vine, a branch off of neighbors hedge which has broad white bottomed leaves and that also reaches into my yard , and sprig off of a bright yellow, flowering bush. This arrangement is part of my partner Peter's Buddhist shrine.
