Garden (Windows Vista)

Garden, originally known as Orange Wildflowers, is a sample picture included in Windows Vista, licensed from Getty Images. It was taken by Natphotos, who also took Oryx Antelope. It depicts a field of orange wildflowers. It was taken down for unknown reasons, considering Oryx Antelope and other photos by Natphotos are still up; it is possible Getty felt it no longer met their quality standards. It replaced the previous sample picture of the same name that was used in builds 5310 to 5329.

Extra saturation was added to the image by the RTM release of Vista. It is also used as the welcome scan image in Windows Fax & Scan at a higher resolution, and without the extra saturation added to the sample picture.

Orange flowers make numerous other appearances throughout Vista; Garden is also the first image displayed on the Slideshow gadget, and it and Img10 are both used to demonstrate features in Windows Movie Maker. In additions, an orange gerbera designed by Iconfactory appears as the default user account picture, User, along with in the icons of Windows Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, DVD Maker, Mail, Calendar and Sidebar. This is probably to provide optimal contrast with the mostly teal and blue elements of Vista's user interface, while the flower could symbolise beauty and optimism.
