The museum area is currently devoted to a show called From Petals to Paper: Poetic Inspiration from Flowers. Poems printed on placards and arranged according to flower types were selected by Liliana Farrel and Janna

Interesting poem. Thanks. I think tulips symbolize the revival of life and hope after a bleak winter; they make me joyful.
