Thank you very much. I studied a ikebana in 1975 to 1980 or so. I lived in Japan. I think I naturally learned to rotate the stem while cutting it because that's only way I could cut it! And for my garden I have some lovely flowering branches and that is how I cut them from the tree, by rotating the stem. Good to know you, the experts, do that! I studied Japanese language and I am thrilled that I could understand everything he said. After all these years it was refreshing to see the flower ranging and to hear Japanese spoken again.😂

Hello can I ask, can I combine Moribana and Jiyūki style on my ikebana?
