On impulse (my middle name), I stopped to see Sue Lamberti at her flower shop; she was ready for me, pointing me to some Calli Lilis that had just arrived. I love them and am going back to see more. They are beautiful and inexpensive. Come and see.

The curves in this flower give them real depth and feeling.

I have a new flower guru. Sue Lamberti, the owner of the new Cambridge Flower Shop, has a gift for understanding the power of flowers and light and how they work together in photography.

When I go to see her, she always has an idea for me, and it’s always good—today, it was the Calla Lili; I love the curves in that flower. I have always loved Diego Rivera’s paintings of the Calla Lilli; they are in my head. He called them sensual, sculptural flowers, and his Calla Lili paintings were much loved. I like the sculptural flower idea; that’s how I see them.

I’m enjoying my friendship with Sue. I love watching her flower shop take off, and she has been a great help to me. She is also one of the nicest people around. I’m grateful for her shop.

I love these photos. I just called Sue; she has some more. I will get some of them this afternoon.

I call it Sue’s magic flower box.
