Props to David Lewis Taylor for always making my flowers look their best. I love this stop-motion video that he made for me last spring. Enjoy.

A massive spray of peacock feathers topped my table for the annual dinner dance at the Horticultural Society of New York. This year's theme was "Couture en Fleur", so we laced up the chair covers like corsets.

Spring sprang early this year. But we're ready with an array of seasonal blooms. Vivid color. Striking silhouettes. Great gifts for Easter, Mother's Day, or any other day.

These canvases were painted by my great-grandfather, Hermann Dudley Murphy (1867-1945). Murphy was a Boston-based painter of portraits, landscapes (in the Tonalist style of Whistler), and dozens of these exquisite floral still lifes.
