Floral designer Claudia Tararache reimagines Valentine’s Day during Flower Circus’ online show

Flower Circus presented its second Magical Flower Show of 2026 on February 6th, featuring Romanian floral artist and World Cup Top 10 competitor Claudia Tararache. The live-streamed event attracted florists and flower enthusiasts from over 15 countries, including Singapore, Canada, South Africa, the UK, the USA, and across Europe. The show offered a global audience a front-row seat to Tararache's innovative floral artistry.

Breaking from traditional Valentine's Day aesthetics, Tararache presented eight distinctive floral designs inspired by the complex relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn. The show explored themes of passion, independence, and the many forms love can take—from romantic love to self-love and familial bonds. By challenging conventional expectations, the designs offered a fresh and emotionally layered approach to Valentine's Day.

Eight designs, one vision
Over the course of more than two hours, Tararache demonstrated architectural sculptures combining sustainable materials with premium flowers, body decoration pieces merging fashion and floristry, and innovative techniques including dry ice effects and wax applications. She also used mixed-media approaches incorporating cement, wire, dried botanicals, and recycled materials. "Valentine's Day is not just about romantic love," Tararache explained during the broadcast. "You can love your family. You can love yourself. You can love your friends. Valentine's Day is for celebrating all the people we love."

The show highlighted partnerships with growers and breeders such as Porta Nova, Marginpar, Lugt Lisianthus, Summerflowers, Anthura, and Cymbidium.info. John Elstgeest, Flower Circus Director, noted, "Claudia's designs demonstrate how these premium flowers can be used to create truly contemporary floral art."
