SUMMER AMERIKEBANA WITH FUCHSIAS

I was taking a break from editing my novel (which I just finished writing after 3 years) when I realised that I haven't been practicing my ikebana as much recently. I went to the patio and clipped off a stalk of fuchsia and then went about gathering a couple sprigs of three-o'clocks, 2 different kinds of dandelions (tampopo), and a prickly oak-shaped plant that was growing by the mailbox. The final arrangement has the feeling of the lushness of summertime.
