'''''Flowers''''' is the eighth [[United States|U.S.]] studio [[album]] by [[The Rolling Stones]], released in 1967. The album is a mishmash of previously recorded tracks. The songs either appeared as singles, had been omitted from the American versions of ''[[Aftermath (Rolling Stones album)|Aftermath]]'' and ''[[Between the Buttons]]'', were collected from studio sessions dating back several years, or are simply reissues of songs recently released on other albums.
Three tracks had never been released. "[[My Girl (The Temptations song)|My Girl]]" from the ''[[Out of Our Heads]]'' and ''[[Between the Buttons]]'' sessions, and "[[Ride On, Baby]]" and "[[Sittin' On A Fence]]" from the ''Aftermath'' sessions.
The title refers to the album's cover, with [[flower]] stems underneath the portrait of each band member. Bassist [[Bill Wyman]] claims that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards deliberately arranged the stem of [[Brian Jones]]'s flower so that it had no [[leaves]], as a prank. He later stated that ''"I didn't get the joke".'' The portraits are from the UK version of ''Aftermath''.
''Flowers'' reached #3 in the US during the late summer of 1967 and went gold. In August 2002 it was remastered and reissued on [[CD]] and [[Super Audio CD|SACD]] [[digipak]] by [[ABKCO Records]].
