This new book highlights the best guerilla flower arrangements of famed florist Lewis Miller.
In April 2020, just as New York City became the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, doctors, nurses, and weary pedestrians walking near Mount Sinai Hospital found themselves faced with an unusual yet beautiful sight: a city-issued trash can overflowing with cherry blossoms and lilacs. Almost immediately, photos of the arrangement began springing up across social media.
Known colloquially across the city as the “Bansky of Flowers,” Miller has adorned urban streets and sidewalks with surprise arrangements for over five years now. The idea came after a period of creative unfulfillment for Miller. While he’d built a successful career for himself as the go-to florist for fabulous weddings and fancy galas, he felt frustrated that only the upper echelon of society got to see his work.
So with some help from his director of special projects, Irini Arakas Greenbaum, in October 2016, he created his first “random act of beauty.” Upper West Siders woke up to find the John Lennon Memorial decorated with 2,000 dahlias and carnations, all recycled from an event Miller did the night before.Flower Flash
chronicle the ninety public works he’s done since that fateful fall morning. There are heart-shaped arrangements placed against subway stations, roses covering a Mister Softee truck, sunflowers tucked into construction barricades Many of the blooms are reused from one of Miller’s recent private projects.
On each page, Miller writes not only an explanation of the entry—the location, the date, and what types of blooms he used—but the emotion that drove it. Take a November 2020 “flash,” where roses and carnations adorned a garbage can in front of an abandoned storefront. “Even with the plywood scrawled with messages that read RENT IS TOO HIGH, there is this gorgeous classical architecture,” Miller writes. “That juxtaposition is very beautiful to me.
