kiku

since i talked about the current orchid show at the new york botanical gardens i wanted to share some pictures from the last show i went to...kiku.

beautiful chrysanthemums are on display in "cascading" or "thousand mum" designs, you will not believe how striking these simple flowers can look when cultivated in this way.

to be honest my favorite part of the show is the bamboo sculpture designed by tetsunori kawana

and i can never get enough of the amazing beautiful water lilies



check back later this week for some other stunning water lily shots i've taken.
