Are you good in arranging flowers. When i was new in my job, a group of flower arranger requested our office to use one of our area as their working area for flower arrangement. It was Ikebana the art of Japanese flower arrangement. Ive seen how they arrange flowers and its beautiful. I never learned the method seriously as I am not interested. All I learned is that the arrangement follows the heaven, man and earth arrangement. But now I realized i should have learned the nitty gritty of such kind of arrangement. Are you in flower arrangement, how do you like it.

So far I only know the very basic. I can only make simple arrangements. You have to also consider the vase when deciding what shape you want to create.
I love flower arranging. When I go to flower shops I always observe how they arrange the flowers and the combination of colors.
I'm sure you will be good at it if you practice doing it.

Yes, practice makes perfect. Flowers are beautiful, almost all flowers. That is what I regretted not learning the Ikeana way. But I can do arrange flowers. In the office we are surronded by plants and some flowers and I can arrange some. Flowers arranged for sale on malls is a must to see.

Yea, I know you know how to arrange flowers. I think everyone does. But the systematic Ikebana way is just alluring. You already have the potential. You just have to enhance it. No time to regret now. You can buy books for flower arranging and experiment on your own. Good luck!

Yes, I am into it but not as serious as others will. I can even duplicate what others are doing. By the way youve mention about vase. The other day while buying something from a store, I noticed new kind of vases, I approached the store and was able to talk with the owner. It is from Germany and it is unbreakable and you dont need to water the plants for 8 to 12 weeks. It is quite costly and I like it. I will be back maybe next week to buy the smallest one. It will cost me about $16. But its nice. Thanks again.

I love flowers... but i am not that good in arranging them... so i ask my creative friend to do it for me... i would always look at how she is doing it... but everytime i try to imitate her... my end product would always look like a total mess... so i gave up... well... i am not a very artsy person... i just appreciate the work of others...

We are just the same,we like to look at it but we dont know how to do it. Maybe because it is not our forte. But flowers are beautiful, natural flowers not plastic or man made ones. Thanks for the response.
