I try to keep fresh flowers around the house. Tulips. Peonies. Renuculas. Baby’s Breath. Whatever I can find at a local market. I find that they are an easy way to perk up photos. Last night, however, I was about to start photographing an invite when I realized I didn’t have any flowers. So, I went to the garden and plucked this Gardenia from our newly planted tree. The smell was intoxicating. One of my favorite floral scents.
