Color Phunk

I'm always impressed with natures beauty. God is pure genius I must say. He's beyond creative, artistic and makes the most overwhelming beautiful things like this hydrangea.

Get well Carol

Carol did recover well from Dengue Fever. I'm quite lucky as most orders I was getting till this point, I was given all creative freedom. I was informed Carol loves dragonfruit so I had to incorporate that in the fruit basket. This was what I whipped up, it came from her work teammates. What a super bunch they are.

Not a flower

I'm starting to think I have junk collecting issues. I passed a large branch of dried palm seed shoots. Nothing left on it cept the ends from the shoot which was once attached to the palm seeds. It really does look like a flower. I didn't know what the hell to do with it but it does have potential I thought to myself. I left it under my garden chair for sometime until on day... I created the below. 

The first brown paper order

My friend Nat needed a "casual bouquet" for someone who I'm sure he has some hearts for. Naturally I'm more than glad to help him out on this. We decided it shall not look romantic, rather happy and thoughtful. Brown paper makes it all more rustic and casual. I should check up on their relationship status soon.

I checked in on him the next day to see how was the bouquet doing as he was not seeing her till the evening birthday celebration. Evidence of it still alive below.

I was out...

Last minute order, I happened to be out so it was convenient for me to pick up whatever was available to make something out of.

Bye Bye Birdie

This is not about the musical. I found this bird on my driveway and it didn't move one bit when I went near it. "Uh oh" I thought. Thinking as fast as I can, I picked the lil guy up, place him in 1 one of my large spare carton boxes and placed it in the front porch under the shade. I even made a soft bed for it out of my floral straw strings, soft leaves from my garden. Gave it some water and chia seeds just in case it had some appetite. I checked up on him every couple of hours and even force fed it some water, it did drink from the plate. Sadly he only made it through the night and till next afternoon. I gave it a decent burial in my front yard. RIP.

Placid Blue and the case of the Blues.

In all my years as a designer (of all sorts), I never knew of this color called Placid Blue until one day a client shared with me the colors she chose for her wedding. I Googled it and....."Ah".  I call it Baby blue or powder blue. First bouquet I made for her was for her pre-wedding photoshoot. Anyhow, there weren't that many blue flowers to choose from at that point of time, so the light blue hydrangea was our best. I apologize for the bad lighting and background, but the floral supplier I ordered my flowers from back then were not too reliable. My hydrangea never made it over for me to pick up, I had to wait for the last shipment till 7 in the evening, rushed back to make this and deliver it immediately after. I've since then stopped ordering from them.
