Magic of the Master Plants with Michele Bumbier-Giunta
In today’s episode, I’m joined by the radiant and deeply devoted Michele Bumbier-Giunta — a flower essence practitioner, collector, and steward of the master plants in South Florida.
Michelle is the visionary behind Flores de Florida, a flourishing floral apothecary born in 2020 from her devotion to native plants, plant teachers, and the unseen worlds that move through them.
Her community research space, The Fellowship of the Flowers, brings people together each month to collectively explore the spiritual, emotional, and energetic signatures of new remedies.
This conversation with Michelle is a journey into the heart of plant consciousness and the quiet, unspoken ways flowers reshape the human spirit.
Michelle shares her early initiations with plant medicine — from horticulture studies that felt too clinical, to the visceral awakening of herbalism, to the moment her first flower essence cracked open her emotional armour and softened her into vulnerability.
Together we explore the ceremonial nature of flowers, the difficulty of finding language for something so ineffable, and the profound opening that becomes possible when we allow ourselves to experience rather than intellectualise.
Michelle speaks to her work with the master plants — the Amazonian vines and tropical teachers whose spirits move through her South Florida landscape — and how tending these plants has shaped her worldview, her practice, and her path.
