Preparation day

How lucky !

to meet a talented florist in Tokyo. Ikuyo Takahashi .

We wanted some natural cottage garden flowers in a metro pol.

Would it be possible ? I am quite anal about how i like the flowers to be. Because i just can't stand the regular green house flowers from Holland, such as tulips and high stem roses in some ridiculous unnatural shades.

Pay attention the handpicked Anemone nemorosa or Wood anemone (Vitsippa in Swedish.) So pretty and so feminine. With an incredible strength to pass all the mulch in the forest, for being such a delicate little one.

This photo is here by mistake and it remains, because i do not know how to delete it with out cancelling all my work. And it is 12.30 in the morning. I hope you understand. Anyway it is worth seeing it again.

It could not be prettier and more cottage garden. Amazing ........

Takahashi san has the most exquisite flower shop in a converted garage. It takes a lot of research and patients to find the amount of different natural , wild flowers and vintage flowerpots. If you are passing by in Tokyo, do make a visit to see her at Le Vèsuve

Preparation day, the day i like the most. To see your idea and imagination come true. It is also very fortunate to be around energetic and talented Tomorrowland staff.

They are waiting for me and my rehearsal speech. It must not be longer than 15 minutes including the translating and i am now at 17 minutes. So we have to do it again......... I am not a natural speaker nor a natural writer, but a very patient listener.

But i will do my best ,
