Colleagues:

I'm seeking a contact at the Smithsonian or elsewhere who might recall what
I've been told was a large exhibit that was created by SI in the late 1970s
that dealt with aspects of 19th century floral culture in Victorian
America.  More specifically, I'm trying to reach Jim Buckler or others who
created reproduction floral "set" pieces that would be appropriate for
funeral use.

Many thanks in advance!

Jon
