Crime or art? Someone is turning New York City trash cans into giant vases of flowers.

Florist and designer Lewis Miller based in New York is busy with an ambitious project. He's trying to create a vibrant color in New York gray. And for this idea he uses flowers.

Recently, residents and visitors of Manhattan could see mysterious flower arrangements. All streets, trash cans, statues in parks and squares became the object of this "vandalism" on the verge of art. “Flowers for New Yorkers is an idea that I've been hatching for years,” Lewis writes on his website. “I wanted people to smile at the colors as if they saw a disinterested act of kindness. This is my mission and my vision of creating the emotional style of the city through floristry. "

The project is called Flower Flashes. Each composition has its own unique atmosphere. One composition can be feminine and romantic, while another is poignant and ephemeral. Also, all compositions are different in size. The large compositions are composed of thousands of flowers, from roses to orchids.

“We try very hard to select flowers that have already been used, for example, at a wedding. And by doing this, we give the flowers another life. " Miller says he will continue his mission.
