    Michael Putnam is my son! I am so Thrilled that so many people are able to watch and learn from him. He is so incredibly talented plus he is an amazing teacher. I could not be any prouder of him❤️
  • posting this comment from karachi Pakistan, I just feel like YES Mikey is insanely talented BUT what realy really helped me was Rajivs questions and curiosity because so so so many times i had the same question that he asked. It really makes me understand why he knows and has mastered so much of craft because of his ability to listen summarise and paraphrase whenever needed was extremely helpful. this was such a treat. best evening ever.

    What a dynamic duo! These two men are not only incredibly talented, but also remarkably humble and kind. They possess a rare combination of skill, passion, and grace, without a hint of arrogance or pretension. It's truly refreshing to see such beauty, talent, and character shine through in both of them!

    As a schoolgirl, I used to be a member of the Young Farmer's Club. Once a year we had a flower arranging competion and I used to compete. I also took my inspiration from the old master's using fruit and foliage. Years later I was asked to do the flowers in my local village church. All my life, flower arranging has been a favourite task, and as a photographer composition is vital.
  • I don’t know if the world is ready for this much good hair and beautiful, gentle energy. ❤❤❤

    I hear over and over from true masters in any discipline that they are self taught. Universities churn out the self-perpetuating mediocre while artists are wonders of nature. Rajiv and Mikey are great examples of this.
  • @watthaile2053
    This was one of the nicest videos I have ever seen. I enjoyed a tremendously.
    Thank you both.
  • @DuluthTW
    Mikey is as much a sculptor as he is a flower arranger. This was a masterclass lesson in art. Thank you both for sharing!
  • @eggieca
    This is my dream team collaboration. Mikey's work is what inspired me to get into floral design when I moved to the Netherlands, and Rajiv is one of my favorite youtubers. I am just the giddiest girl right now.
  • Even as a florist I have learned many new ways of crafting my skills from watching this video. I am also a Colour Therapist and the inspiration I get from your colour palette is exciting. It gets my creative juices flowing.
  • I am drooling with inspiration! To have access to that amazing flower market is an absolute dream. Enjoyed every second. Thanks guys!
