> dried beauty


what do you think these are?
they are dried tulips...
love the drama captured through the natural deterioration.

これは何の花だと思いますか?
ドライになったチューリップです。
自然が作り出すドラマに感動しちゃいます。
なかなか捨てれないのです(><)

  1. Hi, Aya-san!

    I'm another flower child in NY. I heard about you from my new flower friend, Lily :) She's such a sweet lady and I am grateful for getting to know about her.

    I love your Ikebana arrangements so much. I've been so lazy not practicing any of those since my teacher at Ohara school retired from his job... ;p I should start studying it again by myself though. I'm currently unemployed and looking for some freelance jobs. If you are attending some Ikebana show, please let me know.

    and yes, so hard to trash a chance beauty of nature. Very nice pic, by the way.

    Have a wonderful day!

  2. hana san,

    Thank you for your comment!
    Lily is a sweet lady. I love her and her flower work as well.

    I hope you find a flower job soon. it is tough time for everyone...
    I recently had a baby girl so i'm afraid i can't attend any flower shows for a while but hopefully soon when things get slow down around me...

    aya, i LOVE this, it's like a still life portrait, the way you took this photo. i miss you terribly in class.
    hana, there is a Sogetsu exhibit in the Village June 3-5 at the Tenri Gallery. Maybe i'll see you there at the opening reception!
