Oscar de la Renta frequently washes his runway looks with floral prints, but many might not realize he is actually an avid gardener and extremely knowledgable about botany.

Peonies and may apple blossoms are growing on dinner plates, and dahlias, magnolias and gardenias sprouting up on paperweights and bottle stoppers.
