TWO ARUM LILY LEAVES and XANTHORRHOEA IN BUSHLAND

The pictures below were taken on a rather cold over-cast day a couple of weeks ago in the bushland about 10 minutes drive from our house. I wanted to show this splendid flowering Xanthorrhoea in its natural setting.

My ikebana this week uses two arum lily leaves in a black vase by Alistair Whyte.

This last week our TV and newspapers have shown images of the terrible ravages resulting from the converging hurricane and storms in the east of north America. My thoughts go particularly to friends in the USA and Canada who share our joy in ikebana and who may have suffered losses.
