'Whether it is a tattooed rose, a floral bedspread, a lovingly held bouquet or a single bloom in a desert these photographs singly and together echo our yearning for ritual and the need to with beauty. While each of these images immortalizes the given moment, the subject bject matter reveals the ephemeral, temporary nature of eontenue. Like all well-tended gardens, Wild Flowers is a book you can wander through over and over again and each time discover something new." Maggie Barrett
