Every year the MFA organizes a three-day exhibition called
Art In Bloom. Various garden clubs arrive at the museum and are given a random work of art to interpret with flowers. With tiny little greeneries and blossoms breaking out all over the Boston outside the museum, these fully-fledged flower arrangements inside the hallowed halls are shockingly beautiful each year. My first American friend Mary and I have an annual date to meet on this momentous occasion and walk around identifying flowers, oohing and ahhing and talking and laughing and having a grand meal in the middle of it all. And just having a generally wonderful time together, as we always do.
Here are some images from today, covering Natural and man-made:
