Puni Petals
Transformation is a big word. It suggests grand gestures, sweeping change, entire before-and-after stories. But sometimes it’s quieter — a stem bending toward the light, a petal opening just a fraction more than yesterday. The kind of transformation that Puni of Puni Petals meets every day.
This chapter of Alas Sessions introduces Puni, a florist originally from Phuket, Thailand, and now based in Los Angeles. Her practice is rooted in nature’s rhythm — and in its refusal to be controlled, as flowers don’t ask permission to wilt, and you don’t get to negotiate with time!

Something Beautiful
For Puni, arranging flowers is less about control than it is about surrender — a reminder that to transform means to grow, and growth requires letting go. Her perspective reframes transformation as something quieter than we expect — the kind of shift you might miss if you’re moving too fast. Which is exactly the point: transformation doesn’t always arrive with fireworks; sometimes it’s so ordinary you barely notice it, until suddenly you do.
Alas Sessions is an ongoing series that spotlights local creators, innovators, and changemakers. Each conversation explores how they navigate transformation — whether through major milestones or everyday challenges. The series seeks to inspire by sharing creativity and unique perspectives on what it means to transform.
