Hollyhock House / Ikebana

Flowers for Aline: An Exhibition by Sogetsu Ikebana Los Angeles Branch at the Hollyhock House (1921).

At Aline Barnsdall's request, Frank Lloyd Wright Wright incorporated her favorite flower, the hollyhock, into the design of the house. Multiple buildings were planned for the property but after delays and cost overruns, only this main house and two guest houses were completed by Wright. RM Schindler served as the project manager. In 1927 Aline donated the property to the City of Los Angeles.

This was only my second visit to Hollyhock, which I should be ashamed of.

It's a UNESCO World Heritage site. The only one in Los Angeles. In addition to the incredible house, it sits upon a hill with some of the best views of LA.
