Meanwhile, here's an excerpt from the foreword written by Deborah Needleman, which sums up the idea of the book:
Ngoc’s book is a sonnet to the seasons. It rejoices in the
beauties particular to each, and to the immense joy to be had from paying
witness to those changes, and of bringing its fruits into the home. That is the
message of this book, made abundantly clear through Ngoc’s text and the effect
of her poetic photographs. But underlying that, her pictures also reveal her
expansive appreciation for the variety of ways flowers have been used in
different cultures and times in history.
