Mums Will Rise in the Rose City Again

摘要

On one November weekend every year since 2014, floral designers from around the Pacific Northwest have transformed Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland, Ore., into an extravagant and exotic wonderland of chrysanthemums.Their floral designs have colored the popular garden's passageways with fierce dragons and tranquil moons, gazing cranes and outlandish spray-mum-covered mannequins.They'll do it again this November, when the annual "Ninth Moon Floral Design Showcase" returns to the garden Nov. 2-4. The event, presented by Lan Su Chinese Garden and Floral Design Institute, coincides with "Mumvember," the garden's annual celebrationof the chrysanthemum. It showcases 25 floral designers from around the region, each of who conjures up a display incorporating chrysanthemums for a juried show.This year's showcase will also include three featured designers, who will be giving demonstrations throughout the weekend. They are Greg Lum, AIFD, EMC; Jeanne Ha, AIFD; and Lily Chan, AIFD, EMC.
