About flower magazine Margot Shaw was a late bloomer to the art of floral design. A self proclaimed "call and order flowers girl, " Shaw reached a turning point when her daughter got married. After working with the floral designer/event planner to create a beautiful wedding, she became enamored with the color, form, beauty and art that is a flower. She knew then that she had to learn more and soon began working for an esteemed floral designer in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. As Margot learned more about flowers and developed a love for how they enhanced every aspect of life, she noticed that there were no magazines on the stands for people who shared her passion. After talking with friends and colleagues, she found that there is a strong demand for a quarterly publication that will educate and inspire fresh flower enthusiasts while showcasing the many talented professional floral designers within this thriving, diverse industry. The idea of a magazine began to take root, and Shaw has been tending to flower ever since. Margot's intention for her magazine is simple: My desire is to expose as many people as possible to the joys of flowering I guess you could say I am trying to democratize flowers and floral design. It's too much fun and shouldn't be intimidating, Margot explains. I'm hoping that experienced floral designers will enjoy the magazine as much as budding designers like me. In March 2007, flower made its first bloom debut in the southeastern market. As the first lifestyle magazine published in the United States for flower enthusiasts, novice and professional floral designers everywhere, this new, seasonal publication features informative articles and beautiful photography to delight the senses.
