"The Flower Hour is really beautiful. Everyone gets to explore their creativity while meeting new people. The guide is to connect with the medicine of flowers. Tonight is going to be so sweet and intimate. Vicioso describes the event as a three-part journey where participants are invited to drink herbal tea, smoke rose-petal-rolled cannabis joints and create a floral arrangement."
"Each flower carries a personal history. For Abriana Vicioso, the calla lily was her parents' wedding flower - a symbol of her mother's beauty. She had this big, beautiful white calla lily in her hair. I love my parents. They're the reason I'm here. I'll never forget where I came from."
"The Flower Hour begins with Vicioso announcing, with a warm smile: Today is about touching grass. The florist-by-trade gestures behind her to hundreds of flowers contained in buckets - blue thistles, ivory anemones and calla lilies painted silver - all twisted and unfurling into the air."
Abriana Vicioso, a florist, created the Flower Hour, a monthly wellness workshop held near the Original Los Angeles Flower Market in downtown L.A. The event sold out in January and became a recurring series. Participants engage in a three-part journey: drinking herbal tea, smoking rose-petal-rolled cannabis joints, and creating floral arrangements. The workshop emphasizes connecting with the medicinal and emotional properties of flowers. Attendees gather at candlelit tables to share personal flower stories and horoscopes before the creative session. For Vicioso, flowers carry deep personal significance, including calla lilies from her parents' wedding. The Art Club, a membership-based co-working space, hosts the events, providing an intimate setting for participants to explore creativity while meeting others.
