Bouquets to Art at the de Young Museum in San Francisco

On Sunday afternoon, Dave and I went to the Bouquets to Art exhibit at the de Young. Over the past 32 years, the most in-demand floral designers from the Bay Area and beyond, draw inspiration from the art in the de Young’s collection to create floral arrangements from the strikingly simple to the elaborately intricate. Here are some of my photos from our visit to the show.
