    Florists delivering vibrant bouquets for Mother’s Day

    Here are some innovative ideas for Mother’s Day that leading avant-garde American florists have
    come up with in self-isolation times. Read the descriptions and match each with its corresponding
    heading A-H. There are two headings you do not need to use.

    1. Calma, Miami
    The florist Elizabeth Jaime specializes in tropical, Art Deco-inspired arrangements made with
    statuesque flowers that often have an artificial look: shiny anthuriums, birds of paradise and dried
    fan palms. But recent changes in flower availability have prompted her to experiment with softer,
    more romantic compositions with a focus on striking palettes. For Mother’s Day, she will choose
    blooms in shades of bright pink and yellow, a scheme inspired “by the start of spring. She has
    included a gift bundle, in which one of her bouquets will be accompanied by rose-hip body oil and
    a dry brush kit. Bouquets from $75.

    2. Fox Fodder Farm, New York, N.Y.


    In March, as businesses in New York began to close, Taylor Patterson, the founder of the Brooklyn-
    based floral design studio Fox Fodder Farm, which specializes in textural, naturalistic compositions,
    was sent a photo of one of her arrangements languishing in a trash can outside a restaurant that
    she supplies flowers to in Manhattan. “It reflects so much of right now,” she says. “We have to leave
    behind the way we did things before and start over.” For Mother’s Day, she’s hoping to make
    ebullient bouquets with whatever she has on hand. Bouquets from $35.

    3. Serracinna, Austin, Texas


    Even before stay-at-home orders went into effect, Leah Pipes Meltzer, the founder of the Austin-
    based floral design studio Serracinna, incorporated blooms from her garden and plucked from West
    Texas roadsides in her arrangements. Typically, though, she prefers to showcase humble blooms
    such as irises, carnations, baby's breath and nasturtium. For Mother’s Day, she’ll use larkspur,
    mustard and dill flowers in her bouquets. Arrangements from $130 and orchids from $65.

    4. Manu Torres, Portland, Ore.


    In 2004, when the floral artist Manu Torres moved from Michoacán, Mexico, to Portland, Ore., he
    fell in love with the Pacific Northwest’s greenery. He began creating vibrantly colorful, otherworldly
    arrangements, often dyeing flowers in exuberant, artificial shades from Maya blue to powdery
    yellow. “This blend is where I found my aesthetic,” he says. Inspired by spring and the blooming
    gardens he sees on his now socially distanced walks, Torres will assemble mixed bouquets that
    include dark pink lilacs, coral-colored ranunculus and pampas grass, which will be paired with a box
    of almond pralines. Arrangements from $55.

    5. Metaflora, New York, N.Y.


    “I thought Mother’s Day would be a good opportunity to get back to flowers in a simple way,” says
    the floral designer Marisa Competello, whose Chinatown-based studio, Metaflora, is known for its
    striking, sculptural arrangements defined by unexpected combinations of color and texture: puffy
    clouds of smoke bush, say, juxtaposed with spiky magenta musa or floppy green foxtails. Her spare
    use of components — sometimes just one or two per arrangement — imbues her work with a
    distinctly modern feel, and she often gravitates toward blooms that have fallen out of fashion. But
    this month, she is offering more organic hand-tied bouquets — many featuring tulips and lilacs —
    with what she calls a “happy, spring-like” feel. Bouquets from $100.
    6. Field & Florist, Chicago
    The florists and farmers Heidi Joynt and Molly Kobelt cultivate their own blooms on their 30-acre
    property in southwest Michigan, arranging the results in lush, textured bouquets that highlight the
    innate beauty of their crop. “Our design process begins with the integrity of materials,” Joynt says.
    “We try, when possible, to focus on seasonality and locality in the interest of being good stewards
    of the land.” For Mother’s Day, Field & Florist will fashion bouquets out of whichever plants are
    flowering on their farm, which will probably include blush-pink peonies, crimson ranunculus and
    ruffled golden-orange daffodils. Arrangements from $65.
