Two things I have in abundance here at my parents house, branches and beautiful hydrangeas. To make the Hana-dome for this ikebana I used only branches that had fallen in storms during the last week. I’m hoping that the dahlias will have blooms soon, and the garden may yield more flowers after the rains that started tonight. During the last week I’ve fertilized, mulched, deadheaded plants and bushes, and transplanted a few new plants to help bring more into bloom.
