From Lewis Miller, the celebrated floral designer and Flower Bandit
himself, an intimate and joyous behind-the-scenes look at his
signature Flower Flashes as they introduced bright moments of
natural beauty into the city when they were needed most. Before
dawn one morning in October 2016, renowned New York-based floral
designer Lewis Miller stealthily arranged hundreds of brightly
colored dahlias, carnations, and mums into a psychedelic halo
around the John Lennon memorial in Central Park. The spontaneous
floral installation was Miller's gift to the city - an effort to
spark joy during a difficult time. Nearly five years and more than
ninety Flower Flashes later, these elaborate flower bombs - bursts
of jubilant blooms in trash cans, over bus canopies, on
construction sites and traffic medians - have brought moments of
delight and wonder to countless New Yorkers and flower lovers
everywhere, and earned Miller a following of dedicated fans and the
nickname the Flower Bandit. After New York City entered lockdown,
Miller doubled down, creating Flower Flashes outside hospitals to
express gratitude to frontline health workers and throughout the
city to raise spirits. This gorgeous and poignant visual diary
traces the phenomenon from the first, spontaneous Flower Flash to
the even more profound installations of the pandemic through a
kaleidoscopic collage of photos documenting the Flower Flashes,
behind-the-scenes snapshots, Miller's inspiration material, fan
contributions, and more.
