Flowers for the Virus



Art and other cultural institutions around the world have been sending virtual bouquets to each other since the corona virus has kept everyone in place and no visitors allowed in the museums.  There are now several hundred cards which are circulating through the internet.  I have collected a few you may enjoy, and then given a couple of links where you can find many more.
