The story of Petunia’s Dream began in an unexpected way, what started as a simple creative escape from my full-time job as a Delta Airlines Flight Attendant quickly grew into something much deeper. During the uncertainty of COVID, when my career felt at risk and life as we knew it suddenly paused, I found myself needing something that would spark joy, stretch my creativity, and lift me out of the same emotional fog that so many of us were in.

Ironically, I was never a “flower girlie.” Then, one Valentine’s Day, my mother sent me roses with a note encouraging me to arrange them myself, hoping I would discover the love for florals she always had. At the time, flowers only meant celebrations—graduations, recitals, accomplishments. But suddenly, my social feeds became filled with floral designers, bouquet tutorials, and arrangement videos. It felt like the universe was nudging me.
