TAMPA, Fla. — For six decades, it was a Mother’s Day tradition in Tampa to place flowers at the base of a six-foot sculpture depicting a mother holding a baby while her two small children reach up to hand her flowers.
“It was sweet,” said Robin Nigh, manager of arts and cultural affairs for the city of Tampa.
The tradition followed the sculpture, titled “Honor to Mothers of the World,” through three locations: the University of Tampa, Ybor City’s Seventh Avenue and finally the city-owned German Club building.
