I hope you all survived the crazy winter that we have had. Crocuses and daffodils are starting to bloom already, spring is coming! This is an exciting year for our ikebana community, with many exhibitions, including the I.I. Chrysanthemum Show at the newly expanded Portland Japanese Garden. I look forward to seeing many of you at our meetings, as well as at the exhibitions!

Friendship through Flowers,
