I didn’t know the rule that you can’t use flowers in the garden, and I had different understanding about the tea garden. I have read that you don’t plant blooming trees or flowers in the tea garden. The tea garden should consist of green plants only. In either case, you don’t see the same flower twice, so they mean the same basically, I guess. Haha.<br />Anyway, I’m not so strict about the rules since I don’t have a tea room and tea garden at my house. I’m just tiring to plant some flowers in my garden little by little. I sometimes buy seedlings, and sometimes my master gives me a seedling. I’ve just planted hydrangea (^^)<br />I have never been one but there are flower shops that deal flowers for tea.Koheihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904754164913045544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4072833279100636926.post-59487262516691106512012-05-28T08:55:58.565+09:002012-05-28T08:55:58.565+09:00I have been wondering, where do you get flowers fo...I have been wondering, where do you get flowers for chabana? My teacher tells us to take walks and find them, but in the city that means only in public places like the side of the road. It seems too artificial to buy flowers from the flower stores, but it is sometimes hard to find flowers outside that don't belong to someone's garden. And we are not supposed to use flowers that are already in the tea houses's garden, because that would be repeating flowers. Maybe it was all easier centuries ago when not so many people lived in cities, and cities themselves were smaller!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
