Don't you just want to leave winter behindand go loll under a nice palm tree on a sandy beach?
If you're like me and can't, the next best thing may be to surround yourself with some tropical flora.
I was lucky to be gifted these lush Philodendron bipinnatifidum leaves, roses and snapdragons from Mel. The lichen/moss-covered branches I foraged from the swampy woods of Virginia. The antique Japanese bamboo vase is a gift from my dad.
Now, all I need is a Mai-Tai and hammock!
It was great catching up with you the other day!! I love any arrangements with philodendron... I am a huge fan of tropical leaves in general! Yes- Mai-tai and your beautiful arrangement goes perfectly together!!
ReplyDeletethank you, i had a very nice time too!
ReplyDeletebtw, on Monday, March 8th 1-3pm there is a private sale of ikebana vases from the estate of a recently deceased ikebana master. I got a sneak peek. It's a terrific assortment--a lot of vintage pieces like Sensei's as well as modern ones! Let me know if you're interested, and I'll get you in.
Interesting combinations! yet, they seem working together. I guess you can't leave winter completely behind yet though... the lichen branch suggests a subtle winter feeling. Those silverly moss look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'll be away for the week... so I won't make it. It sounds really interesting though!! I wish I coould go and do some shopping. Let me know if you get anything :)
