Gone to Pot

Your leaning toward the herbal persuasion ended when you ditched the dreadlocked cutie. (How he kept that hive smelling of patchouli is anyone’s guess.)

Still, your craving for aromatic herb lives on. Try an herbal arrangement. Floral designer John LaRoche of BlueGuava crafts spiffy table toppers out of freshly picked, fragrant greens (no, Captain Doob, not the kind you toke).

He fills the vase with edible, seasonal leaves (silver sage, mint, basil, pea tendrils, and rosemary) and combines them with native flowers. Pick out the flavor enhancer you most adore, and if it’s in the market, he’ll incorporate it just for you.

Sure to tickle your nostrils, eyes, and palate (beware the munchies), these bountiful bouquets are the next big thing to hit tables in town — which means you better call quick.

Before it all goes up in smoke.
