Flowers hit a high note this season, proving that this perennial classic has plenty of room for growth as a style phenomenon. Brightly hued, generous blooms are the first to demand attention, but neutral, elegant blossoms hold their own in terms of chic sophistication. Don't discount exotic varietals either, especially those of Asian persuasion. — Tracy Bulla
