Ikebana Blogging

Yesterday was the annual Ikebana International flower arrangement show here in San Diego. I popped down to Balboa Park to get a few photos. There were many impressive arrangements on display. I'll share four of them here. Click on each for larger versions of the photos.





For those who aren't familiar with Ikebana, here's what it is.

IKEBANA is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. IKEBANA is more than simply putting flowers in a container. It is a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing in which nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing a closeness with nature.
For more information, visit the Ikebana International home page. There are many more outstanding photos there.
