Welcome To My Beautiful Oblivion. Phloral Phasing by The Plant Provocateur. I see plants, flowers, foliage, stems, seeds as a majestic existence in the world around us. When I feel things don’t make sense I look to these things to remind me of something beyond understanding, something truly special and heart opening. (Might sound silly but it’s true!) Plants, as you might notice, get me through. They inspire, they give me life! Let them do the same for u. #plantprovocateur #floral #phasing #inspired #beauty #oblivion #majestic #plants #flowers #stems #seeds #kaleidoscope #psychedelic #introspection #art #comfort #hygge #heart #lifegiving #silverlake #plantshop #thoughts #ideas #losangeles #design #interior #exterior Simplicity. Swipe R to L to look deeper. Into a universe. What may look ordinary can be extraordinary upon closer examination. I chose to take a moment and display fragrant Tuberose in a #dustingimbeldesigns @dustingimbeldesigns custom vessel. His work is magnificent! Check him out. TPP is fortunate to have his pieces in store from time to time. And Tuberose. Understated in appearance but truly intoxicating in fragrance. Close your eyes. Imagine such a fragrance.Transports you to planes of sensual beauty. Look closer at these images, let them take you to a place that is calming, filled with beauty, and experience the sublime. #plantprovocateur #tuberose #flowers #display #fragrance #lookcloser #simplicity #nature #plantlove #ceramics #honor #beauty #olfaction #art #sublime #wellness #stilllife #sensual #heavenly #perfume #takeamoment #silverlake #plantshop #losangeles “Ain’t my fault cuz I’m out here gettin’ loose...(with these plants)...Ya-ya-ee Ya-ya-ee!

Plants bring about the state of calmness. The world around us is insane. Looking at plants, being with them, communing with them brings about a peaceful spirit. A beautiful noise if you will. I’m grateful that The Plant Provocateur can share this experience. I’m grateful to all of you that support what I do, participate with it, pick up what I’m puttin’ down. Real Talk...running a small independent plant shop is not easy. Yeah sure you see the beautiful side on social media. Everything I present is genuine. It’s my way of sharing the beautiful that makes us, human beings, feel good, feel connected to something living, witness moments of the sublime. But there’s the other side, the hard work, truly creating and sharing your vision honestly, learning constructive lessons if you fail at something, truly taking a moment to absorb experiences when you succeed, actually giving yourself credit when someone says what you’ve created is beautiful. Being truly honest to acknowledge what inspires you and not just taking it for granted, and being humble. I do my best to do this. My love of plants and people encourage me to do this. I encourage others to do this as well. #plantprovocateur #smallbusiness #plants #inspiration #keepingitreal #realtalk #black #queer #human #hank #silverlake #losangeles #musings #competitors #monstera #horticulture #creative #beauty #doingwhatyoulove #community Floating Islands. Something different. Was inspired by the work of @looseleaf__ @wonabae @charlielawler I love their work and was thinking about a floating islands of spring concept. Here’s what I came up with for @traxx_restaurant_official spring display. Using dry florals for a longer lasting display I went with Hydrangea, Palm, Fern, Eucalyptus, Rose, Moss. What manifested was unusual, sculptural, and bio-otherworldly. Swipe to see more detail.

For some reason I was feelin’ this floral crush I made earlier this week. Captured it after the week had passed. Loving how the parrot tulip petals have exploded over a polyphony of ranunculus, leucothoe, and trachelium. #plantprovocateur #flowers #petals #bouquet #floralarrangement #contrast #texture #color #ranunculus #leucothoe #trachelium #tulip #floral #crush #inspire #harmony #plantshop #plantlover #flowerlover #silverlake #losangeles #design #sheilae Alien exotica. Banana flower with fruit in The Plant Provocateur Botanical Garden currently catching the eye. Indian Musa Mysore. Not only do I sell plants, I love growing them too. All kinds. I’m obsessed. I’m extremely fortunate to live in a climate where I can grow (for the moment)so many cool plants. The crazy color and texture of this fruiting flower is giving me LIFE! Produces tasty bananas too. What’s the coolest plant you absolutely love and grow?#plantprovocateur #banana #mysore #fruit #flowers #exotic #growyourown #backyard #garden #plants #plantlove #exotic #silverlake #losangeles #growingplants “And yet to wine, to opium even, I prefer the elixir of your lips on which love flaunts itself...” -Baudelaire These anemone in my Shop this morning were conjuring such a notion.

He's back! Master Woodcarver Yo Takimoto is back from Japan and will be kicking off the first of a series of great workshops for 2017 here at The Plant Provocateur.  Yo teaches a meditative Japanese Kikezuri Woodcarving Workshop.  The art of Kikezuri asks the participant to leave their intentions behind and allow the wood's nature to emerge.  It's a very relaxing and meditative process.  If you haven't experienced this amazing workshop...now is the time!

Workshop participants are provided with wood at the time of the workshop, tools for carving, and instruction.  The workshop session is limited to 8 people.  Class fee is $65 which includes all materials and instruction.  Workshop session takes place on the patio at The Plant Provocateur.  Event is 3 hours long.  Tickets are available through plantprovocateur.com via the 'SHOP' menu.  Under the 'SHOP' menu select 'events' to purchase. 

The Plant Provocateur shop is located at 3318 Sunset Blvd. on the back patio behind Muddy Paw Coffee at 3320 W. Sunset Blvd., next door to Night + Market Song Thai Restaurant.  Metered street parking is FREE on Sundays!

 The Plant Provocateur supplying Silver Lake, Echo Park, and the areas of Los Feliz and Atwater Village.
