One grey morning last week, a beautiful wooden case arrived along with a bunch of fresh blooms. These weren't the common roses or carnations we spot more often.

Instead, it included a bouquet of white ornithogalums, yellow Peruvian lilies, lavender statices, pink sweet Williams, cherry gomphreas and tall stems of eucalyptus. They looked exquisite. In 30 minutes, we were all ears for an online class guiding us on how to make a beautiful Ikebana arrangement in a vase, using tools — both are provided in the wooden box. Once done, the floral arrangement would be picked up and delivered to our favourite teacher's home. This unique Teacher's Day concept by Spree Designs will be executed on September 5.
