It's June 1, 2009 and the cymbidium orchids have been blooming in my front yard. I decided to create a "summer time" display from plant materials readily available in my yard. This ikebana includes cymbidium orchid, rose leaves, fiddle head fern, camellia leaves, a yellow-flowering native shrub, and a tompopo (dandelion.) I also wanted a low, creeping display which spread out the way that summer and its heat does when it is upon us. I love this shallow black ceramic dish I purchased in Japantown from an ikebana store. The only problem with a dish such as this is that it makes disguising the kenzan pin-bed more difficult.
