Oak branches, moss, holly, oriental lily, leucadendron, pine cone, pomegranate express the silver elegance of nature in winter.

Five footer arrangement is poised on staggered pedestals with anthuriums, lilies, orchids, roses, holly and seasonal branches with pine cones – traditional design for the Smith Ranch.

Oriental Lilies and occidental holly complement each other in an ikebana complete with holiday pine cone, branches and foliage.

Every ikebana is different.  The seasons change, leaves, flowers and branches blossom and fade away.  So each ikebana is like a snapshot photograph in time.  Cymbidium orchids and magnolia leaves mark today.

Something else had to go to the photo archives to display more Orchid Basket designs,

And several other floral designs got moved around on the web pages.  That’s the way it is in cyberspace.

The smaller one, on the left, will probably make a come-back soon because it has fall colors and it is fall. 

The large arrangement on the right is a designer’s favorite, and we would like to find a new place for it on the website.

Below are the newly displayed Orchid Baskets with live phalaenopsis arranged with fresh cuts of leaves, flowers, mosses, berries, branches.  Yukiko crafts each design differently in the studio – after all, that’s what “original” means.
