Magic Mondays…
We always have something unusual and naturally beautiful at Bamboo and Lotus and here are some of our gorgeous Pineapple Lillies today…
Tropical treasures…
We had the pleasure of creating flowers for a 21st Birthday celebration recently with some beautiful tropicals….
Our custom made bamboo “boat” arrangements were particularly loved and an added bonus is that they provide the recipient with ongoing decorative display possibilities … love multi function containers …
Gusto da Giannis at Portside ~ a wonderful venue and our Clients had a fantastic evening….
Tennis anyone…
What an amazing summer of tennis it has been in Australia this year. Bamboo and Lotus helped in a small way at the Brisbane International Tennis with a foliage wall that we produced for the Suncorp Customer Zone.
We loved being involved and have also enjoyed watching the amazing players throughout the season ~ it certainly made for exciting viewing …
Floating Bonsai… sublime and very, very cool….
I love things that are out of the ordinary.. even a little bizarre … and this little discovery I have to say ~ made me very excited.
The Japanese Art of Bonsai originated from the Chinese practice of Penjing from the 6th century onwards.
Bonsai aesthetics are the aesthetic goals characterizing the Japanese tradition of growing an artistically shaped miniature tree in a container. Many Japanese cultural characteristics, in particular the influence of Zen Buddhism and the expression of Wabi-Sabi, inform the Bonsai tradition in Japan.
Established art forms that share some aesthetic principles with bonsai include Penjing and Saikei. A number of other cultures around the globe have adopted the Japanese aesthetic approach to bonsai, and, while some variations have begun to appear, most hew closely to the rules and design philosophies of the Japanese tradition. (Wiki)
Personally, I feel the Art forms of the Bonsai are as spiritual and beautiful as the philosophies associated with it and these…
And these floating Bonsais… well, they almost transcend the realms of Utopia …
Needless to say ~ I am already on a mission of discovery making them…
