Thinking about all the friends who are holidaying in my beloved Hawaii at this time of year.....
This wonderful vintage abstract Ikebana
with its white bleached coconut stamens and Chinese lantern berries...
somehow transported me to the memory of a Luau in front of the Royal Hawaiian circa 1978.....
I am calling it the
Abstract Hula
I am seeing wonderful arrangements of red Hawaiian hearts or Anthiriums
set against the pink of the 'Old Lady' of Waikiki......
Aloha!
