Our Lady of the Flowers is an album by American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp, which was recorded in 2013 and released on the French RogueArt label. The album is named after the novel by French writer Jean Genet. It was the second disc by Shipp's Declared Enemy, the quartet he assembled for Salute to 100001 Stars with reedist Sabir Mateen, bassist William Parker and drummer Gerald Cleaver.
