Ikebana at the Botanic Garden

At the Chicago Botanic Garden this weekend.
(March events):

SOGETSU IKEBANA SOCIETY SHOW March 10 – 11, 2007 — 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Members of the Seigyoku-kai Sogetsu Ikebana Society of Chicago will demonstrate the Sogetsu School of Ikebana's flower-arranging techniques and answer questions. Sogetsu Ikebana began in 1927 with the philosophy that plants are beautiful as they are, but with people's help, they can be arranged in an effective style to be even more appreciated. The Sogetsu School of Ikebana emphasizes individuality and imagination in floral arrangements that can be created by anyone at any time and with any material.

A breath of spring.
