Bouquets to Art at the de Young Museum in San Francisco

Bouquets to Art @ the de Young Museum In SF - limited time only from March 14, 2017 to March 19, 2017

There is a very short-lived exhibit called "Bouquets to Art" at the de Young Museum in SF which runs from March 14, 2017 to March 19, 2017 (I assume short-lived because the exhibit can only last as long as the cut flowers do).  This exhibit has been held annually for at least 32 years and is intended to be a fundraiser to support the de Young's special exhibits, conservation projects, and educational programs.  Although I am unable to attend this year's exhibit, I have attended this event in the past and found it to be enjoyable.  Well-known floral designers create elaborate interpretations of paintings that are part of the de Young's permanent collection (paintings mostly depicting flowers) by arranging flowers in such a way to evoke and bring art to life.  In addition to the exhibit, there are lectures ranging on a wide variety of topics related to flora and fauna (note that some have already sold out), which are as follows:
