山吹を生け花に Spring flowers for ikebana

April 25, 2014: 季節 Seasons

中庭のヤマブキも最適ました。少しをとって、客室の生け花に使いました。

今しかない山吹の花、
いま
ここにしか
ないわたし
のいのち
あなたのいのち

Our garden's 'yamabuki' (Kerria japonica "Japanese rose") is also in bloom. We took a branch to use as the ikebana for one of our guest rooms.

The wall hanging reads,

"Only here and now,
My soul
And your soul."

Seems fitting with the fleeting yellow blossoms of the Japanese rose.
