What fresh hellebore
There is no question about it...I have an obsession with hellebore every single season! There is something about it that captures me...a short lived love affair. The way the flower carries herself, shy...she hides her insides from us until you gently pick her up to observe the intense beauty within her. And the colors..I'm just mad for them! I decided to freeze a few to share my obsession and beauty with my friends.
I was having a recent conversation with some other florists and we were speaking about the victorian days and what the brides did instead of carrying a bouquet. They wore large corsages that draped down from the shoulders instead. This freed up their hands and honestly looked gorgeous. Some still carried a bouquet but if they did they still had some type of corsage. I decided to do a modern take on that old tradition. I would wear this out every night if I could, meaning with my early morning wake up calls to shop for my daily pickings keeps me in more often than I would like. No regrets here though because as soon as I get to the markets I'm instantly in a flower buzz!Would you rock this?
This is an original victorian photograph with a bride wearing a corsage.
A little more inspiration...

Plants & Rags
In love with this series...
"She wanted to exist only as a conscious flower, prolonging and preserving herself"-F.Scott Fitzgerald
I've been spending a lot of time at the greenhouses and gardens at the Arboretum. I've been obsessed with greenhouses since a child. We would go visit relatives that owned greenhouses near my grand-parents house and I was instantly in a trance when i stood in front of the closed doors. The moment I opened the doors I would look around nervously to make sure I was in their alone because I would be embarrassed by my own wild behavior once I was inside! A fun escape for a child that has certainly continued into adulthood. In the very near future my office will be a greenhouse...
On my lunch breaks I spend it under this tree...Chinese fringe tree from Taiwan. The fragrance is intoxicating.

Refinery 29 voted Luna Moss as one of LA's top florist last week. I feel extremely grateful and am honored to be included in a group of great artists! There are times when you work really hard into a delirium from long hours that you start to feel under appreciated. There is so much work behind the scenes as a florist that other's just don't know about. So I thank Refinery 29 for good timing!! Here's the article...

Sea Change
I need the sea for it teaches me...Pablo Neruda
It's been months since I've made a post. I've been so busy with weddings, events, jewelry orders and to add to my non-stop schedule I'm volunteering at an orchid and carnivorous greenhouse. It's all very rewarding but I'm burnt out.

| I miss home especially in the spring when wild orchids start popping through our woods and cute bluebirds are chilling on my uncles gargoyle...this happens in our backyard... |
