It is an annual treat to visit the de Young Museum's lovely
Bouquets to Art show in San Francisco. During this weeklong event, select floral designers create magnificent interpretations of works from the de Young's permanent collection using flowers and other organic materials. The designs this year were stunning. Below are a few photos of floral artistry from the 2016 exhibition.
