East meets West - 18th annual Newport Flower Show - Villa 120 Bed&Breakfast Newport RI
In many parts of the world the green jade is a symbol of love and virtue. In ancient China, it was believed to promote wisdom and ensure a long life. That symbol is at the heart of the 18th annual Newport Flower Show.
I went to the Flower Show yesterday and was amazed by the Asian Dragon, made of plant materials by the Preservation Society of Newport County for the recent Boston Flower Show. Dragon are found in mythology and folklore throuhout Asian cultures. In China, dragon lore dates back several thousand years. Typically, the dragon symbolizes imperial power and cntrl over anturl forces, particularly bodies of water, rinfall hurricanes and floods. The Chinese dragon also portends good luck; the huge pearl held in its claw is associated with good fortune, wealth and success.
Hitomi Gilliam, an internationally renowned floral artist, returns to Newport for the 18th annual Flower Show. She will showcase work inspired by Ikebana and Zen appreciation of nature.
Sunday Lectures:
