Join the adventures of a #poetflorist to see our latest creations, often paired with original poetic verse captions inspired by the petals + palettes of our design studio.

 
//// Were clouds to loud their gathered thoughts // with color, were color’s hands // to shape an alphabet the breadth of meadows, could we, // in the tense of blinks and heartbeats, hear it? //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers #bouquets #poetry Photo: @carr.cavender

//// From compressed dust to vivid // pigment, watercolor as the alphabet of a season, accent // awakened with water, the curl and drawl, lilt and staccato of a brush // and soft palette the tongue taps as spring // writes herself... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #springflowers #poetryofflowers //// The @thegatheringrose workshop @rosestoryfarm with @menagerieflower last week I was lucky enough to join and assist was such a powerful and magical experience — more about this and why it’s so resonant to artists of the earth’s palette coming soon, but for now, this. Shout out to my babe @sirenfloralco who curated this palette from which we all could create—it’s one I love so much I think it runs in my blood. So much love to the sweet and hilarious @fallonsheaa as well, for her rosarian knowledge and magic, and to the loveliest @jonachristinaphoto whose photos of this whole experience will knock us all off our blocks. 💗💗💗 #thegatheringrose

The ballet of spring, romance all in her hair ... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #poetryofflowers #bts project in the works with my darlings @purasoulphoto 💗
//// Migration of butterflies, I read your Braille with my eyes, feel // murmuration, the crinkle of one hundred paper wings, each // a word for your name, the eyes and tails of its // letters, the blush-apricot and chartreuse of its woodwind speech ... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers #bridalbouquet #springflowers
//// Magic, a commitment // to release the fist of reality, a sun-shot mistral to comb // the meadows, how they carpet and rise, a language // spoken in infinite accents as light listens and leaves, listens and leaves, words // dropped in spoonfuls of color, pigment, this // trick of how the eye receives the sun’s story, and how can’t you then believe .... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poetryofflowers #poemsbynectarandbloom ////. .

//// Le vent et la belle fille — //// I studied French as a foreign language during college, partially because French is in my family (my great grandfather on my mother’s side was from France), but also because it’s the most romantic of languages, sonically, to me — the softness and flow of the French language feels like backlit mist at the base of a waterfall or fabric taking flight in the wind to me. French feels poetic, as flowers do, the way they ruffle and the frilled stories they tell in the language of color — //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #poetryofflowers #bridalbouquet #nectarbouquets //// A little bts from a creative date with @purasoulphoto + my beautiful amiga @elizabethgdavis 🌸 //// PS #challengeflowerplay in action — hello strange and lovely little gerbs ☺️
