A magical trick lies in a few of hydrangea species’ abilities to change color based on soil PH. They can move from blue to pink and all shades in between, similar to morning glories. Though we find them quite lovely, we rarely work with such highly saturated hydrangea, opting for the oak leaf, limelight or annabelle varieties which are all softer in color from bleached bone to gentle green.

When approached our studio to collaborate on a collection of floral tools, we knew that we wanted to reorient that idea somehow. We considered how nature informs everything around us — not just in terms of flowers and plants, but in the objects we seek out and preserve in our homes and studio. Old-world magnifying glasses, primitive watering cans, bee skep sculptures, shadow boxes, pewter bud vases, botanical models and dogeared books. Every object exists in service to our insatiable obsession with the natural world.
