Being a florist in Miami, the city I was born and raised in, is sometimes such a contradiction. In this wonderful Christmas time we are dealing with 80 degree heat and yet making wreaths and trying to design arranagmemts that scream WINTER WONDERLAND! We work in a cold environment to help our flowers out and yet we step outside handsfull and carrying boxes filled with flowers, and we immediately start sweating, it’s all a bit confusing. Luckily we have help!  we have faux snow flakes for instance that we can work with giving us an instant winter boost. We have dusty miller which is a grey filler that looks like snow and fur landed on on a leaf meaning there’s no shortage of “winter” in our constant tropical heat !
