Standing at his flower beds behind a white fence that keeps out the grazing cattle, Maeterlinck wonders what humanity would be had it never known flowers. Four short out-of-door studies follow: the cottage favourites of old gardens, the first news of spring along the Riviera, the flowers of the fields, and the cultivated splendour of the chrysanthemum.
