Last Saturday, I got to do something I've been wanting to tackle for a while: I led a tour through the LA Flower District with Downtown LA Walking Tours, and then taught a workshop using flowers purchased from the market! I'll admit, I experienced my fair share of nerves in the days and minutes before we started, so a big thank you to those of you who met me at 8am with smiling faces and boundless enthusiasm!

I never take as many photos as I should in these situations, but here are just a few captures from a fantastic morning ... Maybe we'll have to do it again sometime... ;)

Loved being part of the team working on Pasadena Heritage's 40th anniversary gala last weekend! We used a well-known (but perhaps under-appreciated) staple of Pasadena's landscape -- the Magnolia -- as inspiration.

Did you know that Magnolias are among the oldest plants in the world? They actually evolved BEFORE bees and butterflies, so they rely on beetles for pollination. In fact, if a beetle happens to be dawdling around a flower in the evening, there's a good chance the magnolia will close around it to force it to do its job overnight!
