I found the chrysanthemums which have a unique color like being colored with colores pencils. I can’t afford not to use them for the ikebana work for this week as I thought it might be a once-in-a life encounter with these flowers!

In contrast to these flowers, the leaves of hosta (plantain lily) are unicolored and very simple, and I think they are perfect to emphasize the uniqueness of the colors of chrysanthemums.
