I’m Natalie Khmara, the founder and CEO of Lyra Dela Vega.

My personal journey with flowers began in the enchanting rose garden of my childhood.

I grew up in the charming town of Tulchin, in the Southern part of Ukraine, in my grandparents’ house, which was situated right next to Count Potocki’s Palace.

The palace was surrounded by a breathtaking French Landscape Garden, with its rose garden gracing the main square in front.

As a little girl, I walked along straight paths between luxurious rose beds and never tired of looking at, smelling, and comparing the endless variety of roses.

All my adult life, fresh flowers have been associated with a happy childhood, harmony, beauty, and happiness. Those moments instilled in me a deep love for flowers, especially roses, which have since come to symbolize harmony, beauty, and happiness in my life.

Today, I am fortunate to live in wonderful North Carolina, where I’ve found my cozy home in Apex. Here, I am able to share my lifelong passion for flowers with you. Creating bouquets is my way of bringing joy and beauty into the world. I take great pleasure in arranging the freshest roses, complemented by other flowers, to highlight their perfect elegance.

Each bouquet I create is infused with the happy memories of my childhood and a profound gratitude for the present. I hope that through my creations, you will feel the same sense of joy and harmony that roses have always brought me.

Thank you for letting me share my passion with you!
