My wife took a beautiful picture of a field of flowers, and she wants to post on FaceBook. She wants to ask: "谁撒落这一路芬芳？" in the byline, but this does not quite work when translated to English. Can you help me come up with an English equivalent?

The Chinese strikes me as romantic and somewhat flowery. I think you would get closest to the same rhetorical effect in English by quoting Woodsworth or one of the other 18th century romantics, i.e.:

"And ’tis my faith that every flower, enjoys the air it breathes."
