JAPANESE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
Heaven. Tips which cannot be made to bend up must be cut off.
A flower must always have a leaf near it. This is not only to enhance the beauty of the flower, but the leaf acts as a watersucker. Without the aid of a leaf a flower is incapable of getting enough water for its needs and soon withers. This applies where flower and leaf grow on the same stem.
