You’ve heard of flash mobs, but what about flash flowers? The Exedra has caught a few masked “artists” in the act, adding floral flourishes to local landmarks.
Floral flashes . . . you-know-where Garlands greet passersby near Havens Highland and Oakland Aves festooned by florals — and Emily Dickinson Special delivery on Marlborough Spotted near Caperton: Yes, we can — say it with flowers
If you can’t make it in person to the “Ode to Spring” found on the corner of Highland and Oakland Avenues, here’s the fine print:
A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period —
When March is scarcely here
A Color stand abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels.
. . . .
~ Emily Dickinson

Beautiful!!
Fantastic. Flower are smiles from Nature. Thank you to all of the creative flower gals.
What a lovely idea. Thank you for making Piedmont sparkle.
These are just gorgeous! I can’t wait to make the rounds tomorrow to see as many as I can in person. Grateful to the artists who created these.
