この季節になるとお花屋さんでよく見かけるのがスイセンです。こちらでは「Paper
White」という名前で売っています。
毎年1月、お正月の後には必ずスイセンを買ってきて生けているのですが、アメリカでもスイセン売っているのでとてもうれしいです。
生け花も大好きで、毎年1月は写真(一番下)のようなスイセンの生花を生けていました。
こちらは生け花学校での展示作品です。
すーっとまっすぐ長く伸びた葉に小さなたくさんの白い。清々しい印象を与えてくれます。水あげもとてもよく、花が次々と咲くので長持ちします。
今我が家はスイセンのいい香りでいっぱいです!
In this season, you can often find Paper White Flowers at local flower shops.
It's my tradition to buy Paper White after New Years and I am glad that
I can still do that even after moving to the States.
Besides preserved
flower arrangement, I also love Ikebana, and every January I made an arrangement
using Narcissus which looks like the photo on the bottom. The photo is from my
Ikebana school back in Tokyo.
Paper White gives a fresh impression
because of its small white blooms and long straight leaves. Since it absorbs
water easliy, blooms come one after another.
Now, my house is filled
with nice scent of Paper White!
Hi Yuri, I love this one. It is so simple and classy! I also love your Xmas arrangements and crowns they are gorgeous. Wish you could have made my wedding bouquet, all the stuff I saw was so over the top that I ended up going for a simple white Dahlia with a couple of leaves.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claire!
DeleteI really wished I could have mede your wedding bouquet too! It would've been such an hornor.
I am going to post more of my creation here, so stay tuned:)
