Boston's famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum continued its yearly celebration of spring by draping nasturtiums over third-floor balconies overlooking the museum's courtyard.
The 20-foot orange flowers flowed over the peaceful scene as they have done around this time since the early 1900s when Gardner initiated the tradition to, as the museum explains, "celebrate Spring, Easter and her birthday (April 14, 1840)."
The flower show will be on exhibit until April 14. The museum suggests reserving tickets at GardnerMuseum.org.
