First, we learned how to make a grid on the vase with tape to help set up a structure for the flowers to stand in. Martha is way ahead of me - you can see one here. While the owner talked a lot about her past and her family, and we did learn a little about the flowers in the arrangement. We used roses, irises, alstroemeria, wax flowers, and greens in a tall cylinder glass vase. All I can remember about the lilies is that they are not asiatic lilies. Maybe I should take notes next week?
I ended up taking the metro home from the class, and it was so cute to see how people respond to fresh flowers. Almost everyone I saw during the trip smiled at me; it was like we were all a part of a happy little secret! Or maybe they just thought someone did something nice for me that day. Either way, their smiles made me smile.
I had a conversation with a man about how nice it would be if there were plants and flowers in the train stations. We would have to think through that idea, but flowers would add some cheeriness to some pretty dark, dreary corners. Also, one elderly lady on my train wanted to smell the lilies. I let her.
