How Easy It Is To Source Floral Supplies Online

I am someone who has always enjoyed working creatively since I was a child. I

also love color and texture and I guess this is what led to my career choice as a

dress designer. Because of my love of color and creativity, my hobby is also

working with flowers. Right from the time that I picked my first wild flowers and

threw together a clumsy bouquet for my mother at age five (which she still keeps

pressed in her cookbook as only a mother can!), I have always enjoyed trying out

different things with flowers. During my college years I came across the

fascinating Japanese art of Ikebana. This is literally expression through floral

arrangements and the simplicity and brilliance of these very precise and

specific arrangements and the complexity of their meanings floored me

completely! The only thing that stopped me from trying these arrangements out

straight away was the fact that I was clueless about how to get the right floral

supplies needed.

I was lamenting to a friend of mine about my love and pining for Ikebana and

how I could not find any floral supplies to suit my needs when she laughed in my

face and told me nothing was impossible if I tried the online route. True! All I had

to do was Google and hey presto! I had an unlimited source of supplies of every

kind! There are numerous online trading forums and markets and associations

dedicated only to the floral industry and I found everything from the rare blooms

and twigs and stems and leaves I needed to all the other supplies like holders

and foam to keep them in position. This revelation of the online world of

possibilities was a true eye opener for me! The best part of the whole deal is that

you not only get limitless choices to choose from, you can also choose from any

part of the world and have your supplies shipped directly to your doorstep and at

the best prices! As my practice arrangements became more and more

complicated, I was even able to order a few special products all the way from

Japan to my home in New York, U.S.A.
