PHOTOS: Hanging beauties at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Boston’s famed Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum continued its annual celebration of spring by hanging nasturtiums over third-floor balconies overlooking the museum’s courtyard.
The 20-foot orange blossoms cascaded over the tranquil scene as they have done around this time since the early 1900s when Gardner started the tradition to, as the museum explains, “celebrate Spring, Easter and her birthday (April 14, 1840).”
The floral show will be on display through April 14. The museum recommends reserving tickets at GardnerMuseum.org.
