Second Nature
Flower Power
Local artist Kelly Tracht exudes her Lilly-inspired style onto chic pillows ($150) with hot-pink shantung backs. Excentricities locations (561-845-3250, excentricities.com)
Petal to the Metal
MacKenzie-Childs’ hand-carved acacia wood Flower Market hostess tray ($198) features a floral pattern on enameled steel and a brass logo plate. Palm Beach (561-832-9877, mackenzie-childs.com)
Interior designer Jackie Armour brings the outdoors into this entryway in a residence in North Palm Beach’s Lost Tree Club. “The custom hand-painted canvas mural is exceptional,” she says. “I wanted to showcase it but keep it playful, so I chose vintage pieces with fretwork and soft color accents for balance. It’s dramatic and inviting— definitely one of my favorite spaces.” JMA Interior Decoration, Jupiter (561-743-9668, jmainteriordecoration.com)
Garden Variety
The peony prints on these Oscar de la Renta salad plates ($48 each) were handpicked by the designer himself from the New York Botanical Garden’s private collection of rare eighteenth- and nineteenth-century botanical books. Saks Fifth Avenue locations (877-551-7257, saksfifthavenue.com)
A New Leaf
This handmade gold-enamel bread plate ($129) from Michael Aram mimics the leaf of a sago palm, which the designer has growing outside his house in New Delhi and also as a plant in his design studio. Bloomingdale’s locations (800-777-0000, bloomingdales.com)
