I happened to be walking through Paragon Shopping Centre in Orchard last Saturday morning when I accidentally stumbled upon this secret garden:
Ikebana or the Japanese art of flower arranging with its birthplace in the temples of Japan, has been described as the most subtle, sensitive, and sophisticated medium of creative expressions using natural and man-made materials.
This international exhibit has made its way to Singapore, and has around 30 different arrangements. I did not want to post pictures of all of them, so here are are some – okay, still a lot – of my favorite ones.
They’re all so pretty, don’t you agree? Which one do you like the most?
The Ikebana International Singapore Chapter 135 Japanese flower arranging exhibit is open in Paragon Shopping Centre, Orchard, for a limited time only, from 02-12 April, 2015, from 10am to 9pm daily.
Linking up for Write or Die Wednesdays, with this prompt.
This post is part of the A to Z Challenge, a blog hop that goes through the alphabet for all the days of April except Sundays. Today’s feature is G for Garden.

all those flower arrangements look amazing, I like the one on the bike!
That one’s my most favourite too! 🙂
Dee, how fortunate that you stumbled upon this secret garden. So beautiful. I wouldn’t be able to resist taking photos of such beautiful flowers, either! 🙂 Thanks for sharing with us. xo
Oh WOW! Those are so beautiful! I don’t know which one would be my favorite but they are all so pretty. I’d love to learn the art of flower arranging.
I’d love to learn it, too! It would be a wonderful skill to have!
Oooh, how lovely!! Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures 🙂 One of my best friend’s mother-in-law owns a flower shop, and she would illicit all of our help around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day (the busiest days in the flower biz). Flower arranging is truly an art and not as easy as it might look, so these are EXQUISITE pieces of art.
That is a nice tidbit to share! It’s good that you have that skill and can now appreciate these more than I can!
I love the orchids near the top. They are all stunning, such talent! #WODW
Orchids are such stunning flowers indeed!
Hi Dee. Thank you for such a lovely stroll through the garden. Very magical 🙂 It reminds me of a flower show my garden club helped with where I live.
You’re welcome! Interesting to learn that there are flower shows and garden clubs where you live!
They’re all so pretty!
