New beginnings......

I guess my title is based on the newly grown leaf of this cheese plant, there is some oak roots in this picture, some flowers in the front the cheese plants flourescent green leaves just at the corner of this barbecue place in our lawn, I guess my parents always try to make some arrangements based on the "Ikebana" thet learnt when they were in Japan for few years.
For the people who don't know about ikebana, its a japanese art of flowers arrangement which include arranging flowers, pebels, stones, straws and anything in your imagination and make remarkable pieces of art, search some images on the web to get better idea.........
