For @tmagazine’s Winter Travel issue, we take a look at flowers. Every country, every culture, values flowers and has a meaningful relationship with them. Depending on where you are, they’re icons, food, a source of income, a religious symbol...and, always, decoration. We traveled to Sri Lanka, India, Peru, Japan, and Oman to see not just what their flowers look like—but what they mean. The issue, anchored by a fantastic essay about the lotus in Sri Lanka by @aatishalitaseer, is up on tmagazine.com now and in your @nytimes this Sunday. The two covers are by Keerthana Kunnath (@kee_kunnath) and @rinkokawauchi. #tmagazine
