Wearable art at its most joyful, this vibrant oblong scarf brings to life five luminous blooms in soft pinks, yellows, and lush greens. Inspired by Robert John Thornton’s celebrated 1799 botanical series “The Temple of Flora,” it’s an exclusive MFA Boston piece that’s as versatile as the unpredictable days of spring. It’s a thoughtful and unique gift for the person who always looks put-together, no matter the forecast.
