TORTUOUS WILLOW and CAMELLIAS

Inspired by last month's meeting, which focused on camellias, Theresa Feile, Sogetsu, sent this photo of her arrangement of tortuous willow and camellias.

Just another reminder that our next meeting is at 10.30 on Tuesday 13th August at the church hall, Toorak Uniting Church, 603 Toorak Rd., Toorak. 

Peter Leigh from Post Office Farm Nursery will give an illustrated talk about Hellebores. There is now a fascinating range of colours and variety among these 'winter roses'. He will also bring some plants for sale. 

Please bring an arrangement which uses them. Elizabeth Angell will demonstrate as part of the meeting.

Coming Events

Our first meeting for 2013 will be at 10.30 am on Tuesday 12th February at Toorak Uniting Church Hall, 603 Toorak Road, Toorak.  Visitors welcome.

There will also be an opportunity to hear Rosemary Parry-Brock explain the Ikebana Melbourne Blog on this day - what it's aim is and how to navigate it without hassle.  Rosemary will answer any of your questions.  If you have any suggestions you would like to offer as to how we can make our blog a glowing showcase for our activities and work, then take advantage of this opportunity.    It's YOUR blog, so your creative suggestions will enhance it's presence on the internet.

Please bring a summer arrangement.

In Christopher James' arrangement below he has used material sparingly (as befits our depleted gardens at this time of year) and water is a feature.  (The photo attached comes with Chris' permission).
