I have been incredibly inspired by roses as of late. Not your tightly-budded straight stem rose, but her cousin, the <i>wild rose</i>. She grows curvy and free and has so many more thorns to pick. But she is <i>so</i> worth it. Her soft petals, her colors, her spell...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So for Mother's Day this year I am crafting special wild rose bouquets! <i>They are exquisite</i>. I will be selling them at <a href="http://www.cookbookla.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #134f5c;">COOKBOOK Market</span></a> in Echo Park! </div>

I am proud to present my newest plant project: <a href="http://botanicamag.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">BOTANICA</span></a>. It is completed and looking so lively and green! When I was approached by the lovely design firm <a href="http://wknds.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f1c232;">WEEKEND STUDIOS</span></a> to create the plant atmosphere and green the space, I enthusiastically said <i>YES</i>! It was two women, Emily Fiffer and Heather Sperling, opening up a much-needed fresh market + restaurant right in the heart of my hood, Silver Lake! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are in Los Angeles or visiting, you must go and eat there. Inhale deeply the fresh scents of honeysuckle, jasmine + sage, and enjoy your meal as you sit next to the the giant ficus benjamina monique that is purifying the air! </div>

These flowers were hand-picked by me while on nature walks, purchased from farm stands from two farmer's markets that confirmed they were pesticide-free, and the blooming branches I got from my (only) trusted flower vendor at the Flower Mart. These flowers have integrity, vibrations, love, strength and most of all the power to send a message of action over words. Win-win! </span></div>

I got to pull my dream team together this past week to work on a floral installation for the window to the much anticipated LA store opening of <a href="http://www.anpdm.com/newsletterweb/44475A477042445C4A77414259/414A5A417644415F43774941584A71" target="_blank"><span style="color: #a64d79;">& Other Stories</span></a>. We had a heat wave this week with it getting as hot as 90 degrees so there were challenges that I had to find creative solutions for to keep this living installation hydrated and green! I have to say, we nailed it. The windows look absolutely beautiful. It really does pull you to the store. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you so kindly Alana, Christopher + Kirsten for bringing the floral magic. You are my dream team. And thank you & Other Stories for this opportunity! XO</div>

I was honored to get to hold a workshop at my dear friend Hank's shop in Silver Lake, <span style="color: #38761d;"> <a href="http://plantprovocateur.com/" target="_blank">The Plant</a></span> <span style="color: #38761d;"><a href="http://plantprovocateur.com/" target="_blank">Provocateur</a> </span>a few weekends back. We transformed his beautiful plant shop into a flower studio that looked like it could have been in an alleyway in Kyoto! The inspiration for the class was movement and how movement can inform our arrangements. I wanted to see energized flower creations with motion and energy - a deliberate break from the standard triangular arrangements that look like they are from a dutch still life (which I too find extremely beautiful of course). I wanted students to explore something deeper for their inspirations - I wanted them to fish deep within themselves to see what they could pull out and run with that as their guides as opposed to a notion of what their arrangements <i>should</i> look like. Lo and behold I was astonished: such extremely unique and dynamic floral arrangements were indeed manifested! It was such a success and the students joy with their creations was just as infectious. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am always pleasantly delighted at the beginning of a class when students are timid and unsure of what they are capable of creating, and being able to lead them to a confident floral designer by the end of a class with just a few simple instructions and more than anything else, encouragement for them to keep on pushing and going with their vision(s). That is the gift for me. <i>That is my return</i>.</div>
<br />

Are you familiar with the <i>ceroid cacti</i> that bloom at night? We have several in my neighborhood and I find them absolutely spellbinding. Some only bloom once a year, for one long anticipated night, while others are short lived. Can you imagine? What a gift! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year has felt so intense. Do you feel like that too? There is so much trouble, anger, hatred and low vibrations throughout what seems the entire world. A lot of fear, negativity and misunderstandings while not a whole lot of love, compassion and understanding to balance the scales. I can feel the weight. Can you? On a personal level we have lost more than a fair share of friends these past two months. Big losses. Sad losses that seem to coin the term 'Life can so so unfair, so unjust.' And outward on to a larger scale with the losses happening in the greater world. Times like these cause for pause and reflection. They also call for coming together and connecting. We need more love.

I am delighted to get to share these photos with you! A while back photographer <span style="color: #ea9999;">Yoshihiro Makino</span> had asked me if I wouldn't mind sharing two of my great loves with <i>Madame Figaro Japon</i>: cats + flowers (!) for a story they were running called <i>Neko Deco</i>. I (<i>of course</i>) was thrilled with the opportunity which lead to a really nice afternoon of talking shop flower-wise and herding my coy cats. These are some of the outtakes. I know that all four of my little fury darlings feel quite honored and somehow a head above the other outdoor cats after having had such an elaborate feature! Thank you so kindly <a href="http://yoshimakino.us/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Yoshi</span></a>! </div>

I recently got some 35mm film rolls developed and
came upon a few stellar shots (upon many missed shots!) from our
family morning trip out to <i>Lake Shrine</i> in the Pacific Palisades to celebrate Elijah's birthday.
Have you heard of Paramahansa Yogananda and his centers for
self-realization? Have you been to one before dear reader? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had a big wedding in Santa Ynez that required us to stay up there. We checked into a Motel 6 to save on costs and to add to the charm of an already trying wedding (the last time I stayed at one was when I was quite young so strangely fulfilling a moment of nostalgia for me). It was really, <i>really</i> <i>hot</i> which adds to the stress because time management becomes crucial. The last thing you want is to have wilted flowers or worst, dead flowers. Especially if those flowers are dahlias. Two hundred dahlias. <i>Two hundred star-flowers dahlias</i>. <i>The</i> front-and-center showpieces. So we did what any normal florist would do: we rented them a room! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We single-handedly transformed the
motel into a wildflower workshop! Slowly overtaking the room itself, flowers started to spill
out onto the hallway, lining the walls, down the staircases while we
used the tops of old AC units to the adjacent rooms for creating arrangements. All this while the delicate dahlias sat underneath the cranked flow of the air conditioner, sipping cool water to their hearts content and letting their stems splash around in the clear water underneath them. I was so delighted that I had my Canon F1 with me to capture this. In the midst of the craziness of processing, arranging, misting, and pleasing all the flowers, something started
happening to the otherwise still, stagnant air that was there when we
first arrived. <i>Transformation</i>. Elegance and grace started to creep in while jasmine fragrance
filled the air of our flower sphere. The magic is real. What flowers can do to a space is downright sensational. What they did to that Motel 6 was utterly transcendental. </div>

So happy to get to share some of these images with you from that memorable day. And major thanks to my team: Alana + Seana, I could not have done it without you both!</div>

other creative things, is an art collector and has a painting by Joy
Laville above her couch of a nude woman reclining above a sleeping
panther. I love the danger that quietly exists between the nude and the
panther. It is powerful and blatantly erotic. I started experimenting
with tigers in my drawings and when it came time to pitch my animated
thesis film, I knew that I wanted to further explore the relationship
that exists between woman and feline. My film, entitled "Tigress," is
about finding your voice, or as I like to say "finding your inner
tiger." <span style="font-size: large;">'</span></b> </i></div>
