This is my first time to exhibit at Filoli Flower Show. Pam Schenk of Peninsula Rose Society kindly introduced me to the co-chairperson, Marilyn Miller. I had to come up with a title of my arrangement back in January. Knowing this flower show is more traditional with pink and red color arrangements, I wanted to make a cool color arrangement like green or blue. I found this blue Italian made glass platter for $15 at HomeGoods store in San Carlos. Then, I picked blue flowers at San Francisco Flower Mart with the help of my Ikebana teacher, Yoshiko Williams.
