On Friday, September 20th, 2013 Exotic Flowers in Boston was honored to create the floral wreath for the ceremony honoring the centennial of Francis Ouimet's upset victory at the U.S. Open for Golf in 1913. The 1913 U.S. Open was played at the Country Club in Brookline. Even President Taft was spotted in the crowd.
