So fragrant and beautiful, yet fleeting with their charms, flowers are lovely tributes to nature's artistry.

Simply displayed and photographed in natural light, these luminous bouquets are so fresh, you can almost smell them.
Synopsis
Redesigned with a fresh new look for 2009, Flowers is a vibrant tribute to the garden's bounty. Unfussy and impromptu in spirit, the calendar celebrates the pleasure of just-plucked blossoms arranged in found or unusual containers. Frilly rose-colored peonies spill out of a shallow basket onto a worn wooden table. Fairy pink astrantia overflow a creamy white bowl. Plus glorious arrangements highlight the kitchen, patio, porch, and windowsill. Simply arranged and photographed in natural light, these compositions are luminous.
