Floral designers are just floral designers but Andreas Verheijen is a "flower engineer". The strange title may sound like a bit of bad PR until you see his work. It’s startling, it stops you in your tracks. Are they real?
How did he do it? Wow. He sculpts a plant display the way a sculptor would handle marble or wood or clay. He reveals the sculptural beauty of a branch of a palm.
