Ikebana
What would your suggestions be as a gift to someone who is well into 'Ikebana'.
The gift should include all the ingredients (apart from container) to complete an arrangement. This is not a high value item.

a twig and a couple of blooms innit? don't really understand ikebana to be honest, know the arrangers themselves study a tree for hours to find the perfect branch. Imagine if we had the time to do that with all of our arrangements!!

Jo..you're so coarse!
Can you please get in touch with your feminine side and create something flowing and graceful for me!

it seems that the rules behind this particular sort of arrangement are quite important, i would probably go into the woods to see what i could find,and what would inspire me, i think i might have a go at one if i have the time over the weekend or if i can be bothered!

My suggestion would be : Some branches from an old apple tree, or maybe Japanese cherry branches, a few nice rocks , 2-3 anthurium , a sushi plate or any other flat thing.( what do you call the things we put the flowers into, and I don't mean the vase? )
Maybe asperagus plumosus. Never tried to do Ikebana but this could look like it, I think.
