Every year, florists are inundated with confused requests from first-time customers looking to impress their significant other with a bunch more beautiful than a petrol-station bouquet. The boyish awkwardness of the buyers juxtaposed against the delicate blooms makes for a curiously captivating sight. “Inspired by obliviousness to Valentine’s Day,” Agnes Lloyd-Platt’s series of photographs shot exclusively for AnOther are a rainbow of botanical delight. The boys’ faces obscured by a range of flowers that would put InterFlora to shame, there is something deeply charming about their slight discomfort.
