He is a 'floral wizzard' great arrangements. Very creative and interesting designs! I love curly willow, it gives an interesting element to any creation! You always have inspiring posts!
How amazing! He's really good! I love the white floral bouquet.

What is amazing about his work is "twigs" in general are not easy to work with! All those speak volumes and look effortless but stunning. That's really cool.
wow that white bouquet is gorgeous!! What great designs.

I just found your blog, and as I was scrolling down I saw Michael and I said "hey, I know him!" I used to work for him in Modesto when he owned the Thoughtful Flower! He is an amazing artist, I learned so much from him. I'm glad I know where to find him, next time I am in Carmel I will check out his shop. Thanks for the update, your blog is beautiful!
