In recognition of Ikebana of Richmond's Annual Ellen Gordon Allen Lecture/Demonstration, PBS presented a demonstration by Linda Taylor who holds a teaching rank of Master 4 in the Ohara School of Ikebana. Linda, assisted by student Judy Sheldon, created a Basket Style arrangement with smoke tree, pink asiatic lilies, miscanthus and small monstera leaves.
Three arrangements created prior to the demonstration were seen in the background; a Heavenly Style Heika arrangement with monkey puzzle vine, orange asiatic lilies, and hosta leaves; a Slanting Style Heika with weathered wood, bittersweet, mums and hosta leaves; and a Valley Landscape arrangement with crab apple, lichen branch, and small yellow wildflowers with foliage.
