At the Kat Flower stand at the Brooklyn Flea, Hyppolite always displays an arrangement with flowers from the week's offerings to entice people to come to her stall and to advertise for her custom arrangements. This week's arrangement, which would be perfect for a holiday table, includes beautiful flowers in a loose organic arch that is set off by the bright blue of the vase. Reminiscent of a Dutch still life painting, the lush bouquet drew admiring comments from passersby all day long. In the arrangement, Hyppolite includes scented geranium leaves, ranunculus, peonies, carnations, stock, eucalyptus, yarrow, oregano, astilbe, veronica, kumquat, pittosporum, and pieris.
