The beauty of floristry is fleeting, impermanent and it is this time-trapped aspect that lends it its tragic, romantic appeal. Floral artists take their most fragrantly seductive creations and draw them towards the world of contemporary art. Now, a generation of artists working with flowers is blooming – and floral designers are being pushed into new realms of creativity, blurring the line between art and floristry from both sides.
