Florists' Review Presents: Reflections of a Starry Winter Night by Paulina Nieliwocki

Drawing inspiration from the colors of the stunning cut-glass vase and the butterflies in the fanciful Butterfly Spray, both from Melrose, floral artist Paulina Nieliwocki, owner of Blue Jasmine Floral in Berkeley Heights, N.J., created this dramatic composition to capture the aesthetic of a starry late-winter-night stroll through the woods.
