【FLORAL COLORS】
I can see a clear tendency to brown.
A warm brown. Like the brown of cherry wood.

These Dimorphoteca or Osteospermum „Purple Sun“ waved at me 2 days ago in front of a flower shop, and I finally could go today and get closer, relieved they were still there, and then! from far away they looked fascinating cherry wood brown, but then the surprise! An amazing purple gradient! And the yellow tips! Color adventures these are!

And I have to admit, the royal blue of the name card is interesting.
Warm brown plus intensive blue is for sure very interesting and I think I have a story to tell about this in the next posting.
Until then:
Enjoy the Dimorphoteca WOW effect!

MY DAY⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Today is a Wednesday and Wednesdays are my playful days.⁣
⁣Because I spend them at the DEUTSCHE SCHULE in Yokohama, teaching the GARTEN AG, kind of garden club, for kindergarteners and 3 classes of elementary students.⁣
⁣God, these kiddos are my pleasure! They connect me in so many ways! To my original language, to my love of botanical details, to pure fun. They also do of course train my boundaries very well, haha.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Today was the BAMBOO day. We saw huge bamboo shoots in the park close to the school, in the middle of rain, last time. Today, we peeled a REAL one, oh, their faces! The pure astonishment! Bliss! ⁣
⁣Fresh Japanese giant bamboo shoots, „take no ko“, from the Moso family, is something fascinating! I agree!⁣
⁣Cutting them into half, these thousand of chambers and layers of leaves appear, the smell, the touch, the kid’s phantasies and images, I love to listen to them, time flew today.⁣
⁣We even were able to cook them, with „nuka“ and with chili to soak out the bitterness and the acid, and I hope, my sweet kids are enjoying them today at home with their families.⁣
⁣Should be a dinner with a LOT to tell!⁣

【FLORAL COLORS in DENMARK 】⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I am very happy to announce my color seminar in Denmark!⁣
⁣It will take place in Roskilde at the Blomsterskolen Vilvorde, very close to Copenhagen. 6/22 + 6/23.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣We will spend 2 full days on studying how to discover color combinations in blossoms, how to transfer them into a flower design, how to decode a color with the NCS system, and, whilst adding Japanese materials as Kyogi, Washi, Koyori and more to the flowers, we will also study the ways to soften a colorful impression by blurring and by speckling colors.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Now that is one long long sentence;)))))⁣

Today, it is my Sakura day!
Please enjoy the second bridal bouquet from the 2001 series.
This time not a photography but dried and pressed Sakura blossoms laminated onto very thin paper.
I still love this bouquet very much.

Sakura Season.⁣
⁣The last trees are blossoming in Japan right now, petals are fluttering everywhere.⁣
⁣The cherry flowers are famous for their beauty, but also for their short lasting. And, as we all know, they don’t keep well as cut flowers. Which is ok. ⁣
⁣Which also causes us to long for dreams: who hasn’t thought of creating a fresh cherry blossom bouquet??⁣
⁣As all of you, of course, I tried to fulfill this dream, but the cherry blossoms have their own rules, they want to be admired ON the tree. Which is good.⁣
⁣Which made me try out other methods: see here the photos of cherry blossoms, fixed on white Washi paper, then arranged as if they were blossoms, into a bouquet. A free, asymmetric one.⁣
⁣Draped on a shiromuke, a white wedding kimono, set up in front of a temple.⁣
⁣It is still one of my favorite bridal bouquets.⁣
⁣From the book „First Class Floral Design: WEDDING“, Sodo Shuppan, 2001.⁣
