I’ve been searching everywhere for someone to demonstrate Ikebana. Finally Peter posted one himself. Yay

"You can appreciate it while you go to the toilet." Artistry and humor combined! I love it!!!

This is easily my favorite channel on youtube :)

What a great idea to add beauty to our environment. I'm going to do it today to pick my spirits up. Thank you, Peter, for sharing your talents and ideas with us. :)

Hi Peter.Quite an interesting topic. I am always in awe of your presentations.This was certainly enjoyable.

Thank you for showing us such beautiful simplicity Peter. Wonderful!

Woke up to -17C today, but as soon as I can get into my garden this is what I will be doing...thanks Peter...you are the best

Sunday breakfast with Peter. I saw the stunning displays pop-up on Instagram and just love how nothing goes to waste with Peter, Stay well Stay safe.

So much beauty in just the simple things, we just have to “see” them. I greatly appreciate this video, as I do every one of them. Thank you. 🤩👏😘

This video was long overdue, Peter! You mentioned many timed in your bonsai videos that you also make Japanese flower arranging so I am glad you finally showed us this. Now waiting for your take on Kusamono and shitakusa. :)

I have many little vases and bowls just like those and never knew how to use them. Thank you for giving me many new ideas!

You are full of surprises and as always gorgeous!

So lovely to see you doing a video on Ikebana- and your ceramics collection surely is beautiful too!

Less is more...how beautiful😍.Thank you for your inspirations, Peter.

What a great episode!

Thank you for the joy you give to us Peter.Thank you for sharing your experiance and art of making bonsai!

The photographs of your beautiful creations are stunning!

They are all beautiful Mr. Chan

Hi Peter, Have you ever made a bonsai from a lavender plant? If you haven’t I’d love to see that done by you😊🇨🇦

Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you.

It was quite interesting that Mr Chan referred to Ikebana master.

every time, a bit different. this time, very different. Thank-you! Always lovely, as well as surprising in each of its own uniqueness

I'm so sorry that your Dawn isn't there to enjoy these little works of beauty with you.

Amazing

Thanks so much for sharing the simple beauty and simplicity of Ikebana!!! Always enjoy your videos immensely!!

Beautiful creations!

One of the best talks I have ever been to was by Diane Norman who is an Ikebana master it was superb. I like what you are doing here Peter,

Ejoyed this for being different but still part of the bonsai world. Would love to see a video on Kusamono!

Maravilloso!!!

Another tasteful touch of art by Peter we don't see much, going to try one my self 😁. Thx for sharing Peter 👍 cheers

It strikes me as a good use for some of the trimmings that come off pruning of my plants. I may not do true Ikebana, but I think it's given me some ideas :)

I love the way the camera tends to wander, observing and taking in all the sights. While some might not consider it hollywood stuff, I think its very natural and seems to draw the viewer through the 4th wall, so we are standing with the master as he tells the story.

Thank you very much for this video Peter. Being able to enjoy Nature's beauty in every room of a home is always nice.

That was fun. I learned something else new today! Thank you.

Thanks you for ikebana advice, it s a nice addition to bonsai !

very pleasant

Thanks Peter, different and interesting.

Thank You for these inspirating ideas .....👍🌲👍

much love

My Camellias just started to bloom as well. Nice work Peter!

It was like u read my mind. I just started searching videos on this and there arnt many.im glad u did to expand the minds of all of us.another beautiful practice. From what i read i guess there are many techniques to this artform as well also using a kenzan in the pot to hold the plants up and forming triangles in the composition. would love to know more of this artform. Great video.

Different. 😊Nice

What is that beautiful bonsai camellia call? Anyone?

Good morning Peter. Simple and pretty. "Something within yourself will tell you whether it works or not." Sometimes it is difficult to hear that voice in bonsai. When I get blocked before so many bonsai guidelines and not being a decision to make, I call my wife and ask her: Which one would you cut? And I cut the one that she tells me. And she is amazed. Why do you listen to me if I don't know anything about bonsai?

What do you think of putting in the wet floral foam to hold the cuttings in the pot securely? You still have the simplicity of the design with the holding power of the foam. Foam can be cut so as to be hidden in the pot. Tall pots with narrow holes though, would not need it. Just a thought.

@@peterchan3100 I've been trying to remember where I saw the images. Could have been in the Chester Beatty in Dublin...or somewhere similar?? Women and flowers were around thousands of years before Buddhists. Before the name of Ikebana was invented. The delicacy of minimal or any flower arranging is to its core, feminine. Just as warfare is male. Monks used it for sure. It fitted in with sparing life.

Words like these I better not mention. My wife might think its from the Kama Surta and demands...well you know. And I am not fast enough anymore to risk "this".
