How it all started

La Otra Flora happened organically. I have been a gardener since 2006 and love taking pictures of natural beauty that I see everyday. Whether its a wisteria vine I see on a walk, a dewy spiderweb, new leaves on my monstera, or a new bloom in the garden, I can't help but take a few shots and share them with friends. This year I decided to start a cut flower garden, which has been a dream of mine for a couple of years.  My darling designer husband surprised me one day with a brand, a logo, and a website all for whatever I wanted to share. So here we are. I call myself a flower farmer now and have plans for summer and fall blooms in the works. I decided to start writing and sharing more about my experiences which is outside of my comfort zone.  I nerd out on all things houseplants and gardening and I really want everyone to know how easy and fulfilling it can be to own and grow plants. I don't know exactly what this project will evolve into, but I do know that this is a good place for me to grow as a person.
