?I really love the ephemerality of flowers. I like that it?s not something that you can hold onto forever. I like that it?s something that you have to be present for,? says floral artist and entrepreneur Maurice Harris, the man behind @bloomandplume. Maurice explores and celebrates black identity in his work by including people of color of all ages in his pieces. That includes his niece! (Pictured.) ?She?s such a dynamic little lady,? he says.
