If you follow the history of floristry (pretty sure I am alone here!), you might remember Madderlake (Check out their books), a ground breaking florist from the 1970's who made use of dandelions, poppies, geraniums, and "weeds" and used them in unconventional ways. Saipua has a very similar style to Madderlake!
