Being a minimalist at heart, the Japanese style appeals to me. Twisted willow, one bloom and some smooth stones kind of thing 
But I love all flowers, so anything pleases me.
That rose bowl looks gorgeous.
I "claimed" a rose bowl from my mother's belongings, mainly for the inscription on it, as it was presented to her for services to the local twin-town society which she did secretarial and administrative duties for many years after we had grown out of exchange visits to France.
But today whilst shopping I thought I'd get some roses and try my hand at filling it. I love doing flowers but am not very good at it. The rose bowl is quite foolproof though and here is a photo of my first effort.
The florist said it didn't matter that the roses had to be cut so short - in fact she said they should even last longer.
Did anyone else learn about flower arranging at school? Do people do it much these days, and which do you prefer - modern or Japanese style arrangements, traditional ones like this, fiddly little flowers or big splashes of colour, bought or wild flowers?
