One of the most exciting parts of the Grammys is the red carpet beforehand. Celebrities take stunning photos all along different backdrops and these photos end up everywhere. But did you notice a little something extra in those photos?

Check out the flower arrangement that appeared behind a LOT of celebrities -

Well, there's a man behind those floral arrangements and he's basically our neighbor. 39 yearr old Tu Bloom, is a botanic artist is from Andersonville, Illinois. This isn't Bloom's first rodeo, he's been styling floral arrangements for The Grammys for the past 10 years. The Chicago Tribune details -

Tu Bloom, 39, found a passion for plants and gardening after his family emigrated from Vietnam to Chicago when he was 5 years old.

Bloom also told the Tribune -

We lived in mixed housing that had Section 8 and projects on the North Side of Chicago. My friends and I started cultivating soil in an abandoned parking lot behind the buildings, and that’s where I successfully started cultivating herbs, small thumb-size carrots and radishes.

His love grew from there and brought him to where he is today - The Grammys!
