Grayson Handy and Arturo Quintero have an impeccable reputation in the city for their unique floral arrangements. In addition, their shop on 36th Street showcases their other passion: home furnishings. There are recovered and refinished pieces, vintage items from their travels abroad, and other simple, novelty gift concepts. It was lovely getting to spend a few minutes with Grayson late one afternoon. He had nothing in the shop for us to photograph in the way of flowers, as he had "quite the busy day," plus he emphasized how they bring in only what they believe they will need each day from the Manhattan flower markets and rely primarily on shipments of fresh flowers from overseas for special events. When I asked Grayson to share his philosophy about floral arrangements with me, his response was simply, "At Prudence, we let flowers be flowers. We believe that flowers, as they exist in nature, are pure perfection. We are mere vehicles to showcase them in all their glory."
