The book I bought about them was at my office and not with me. ( see…I was really there only once!) Thanks for the correction once again!

The Glass Flowers are on view at the HMNH, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, just a 6-8 minute walk from Harvard Square. Directions etc. at hmnh.harvard.edu. The museum is open daily 9 am to 5 pm, 361 days/year.
