New #floralarrangement: pink hydrangea, orange ranunculus, pink stock, leucadendron, orange protea, blue larkspur, aspidistra leaf, and seeded eucalyptus.

This is one of my favorites... done without too much thought, but instead, moving fast and trusting my hands.

Just some #florandesign favorites from my portfolio! More at heathersuccio.com.

NOTE: All photos have #alttext. Most importantly, it helps those who need vision assistance. But it also helps me cement my knowledge of floral terminology!

This afternoon, I took myself on a creative field trip to my favorite hangout: Hunt and Gather in SE #Minneapolis.

Every time I go, I'm reminded that the world is weird. Indeed, it has always been weird, and will always be weird.

I find this to be very, very soothing.

Made an arrangement for a colleague going to a celebration of life tomorrow. I always pray over these... in gratitude for whatever good the person did in their lifetime.🙏

I raised up this beautiful #monarchbutterfly from its start as a tiny little egg on a tiny little milkweed leaf. I will never tire of being an annual participant in this miracle of science, and spirit. #nature #conservation #monarchwatch

Colors and shapes: Earth-inspired, but with sharper lines. I forgot how much I love to do modern graphic design work. 🙂

I've been raising monarch butterflies for almost 30 years. This is one of four that I released into the world today.

13!!!!!!!!🐛 I was nervous when, by the beginning of June, I had only seen two #monarch eggs. Now I have 13 very happy, hungry monarch caterpillars in the house! #veryhappybutterfly

It's super cool when somebody knows and trusts your "bug background" enough that she gives you a swallowtail caterpillar to raise! 🐛

This is a new one for me. I fed it lots of dill and carrot tops, and as of today, it's attempting to make its chrysalis. Here's to new nature adventures! ☀️

Custom #floral centerpiece for a lingerie store opening! As requested: pale pinks and greenery with a "tiny" bit of black somewhere.

Pink peonies, ranunculus, garden roses, hypericum berries, statice, and anemone (with black centers).🌸

Found my first #Monarch #butterfly eggs of the season! This is two weeks later than usual, here in #Minnesota. Monarchs are usually *everywhere* by early June, and I haven't seen a single one yet. That's concerning, but I am hopeful! #monarchwatch 🦋

Tons of milkweed (and mint) already, especially with the recent rain. No #monarch #butterfly eggs yet, though.

Last year, I saw the first one on May 15th, so since we're already a week behind, I'm getting twitchy.

I'm eager to launch #veryhappybutterfly 2025! 🦋🌱

I just got done working the flower shop on #mothersday. What a blessing: to serve a constant rush of kind, loving people, simply out to do right by others.

My last customer bought 40 roses in a bucket, intending to hand them out to all of the moms at a family BBQ. ❤️

A bit of an asymmetrical departure for me, with white lisianthus, mums, curly willow, and yellow kangaroo paw. I was going for a sense of motion. Wee! ☄️

1/ This gorgeous 17th century masterwork is the piece I have been assigned to interpret at this year's #artinbloom event at the @minneapolismn.gov Institute of Arts: The Immaculate Conception with Saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua.

Not a legal type... but according to NYT, looks like "no calendar days" means the calendar-based process to end a presidential emergency cannot be implemented.
