From the de Young Museum’s website:
What better introduction to spring than dozens of stunning, elaborate floral arrangements displayed in a dramatic museum setting? And what better way to see the de Young than when filled with Bouquets to Art? Enjoy floral exhibits, lectures, lunch, and tea.
I was there! Hali & I parked at the museum and walked over to the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, observing a wedding photography session taking place on the steps. Then we met Shawna & Maz for lunch at the museum . . . really very nice. Afterwards we toured the museum, ooh-ing and ah-ing at the flower arrangements.
(Actually, I was mainly looking at the art works themselves. This solitary statue, plenty of fool-the-eye paintings, and . . . an original Charles Sheeler!)

Did you take any pics of the flowers in the museum? I've wondered what that would be like...
See . . . that's the thing. Someone has already noted the lack of flower pix. If you look at the lobby scene, there are two arrangements: the swirly thing in the middle and the circular piece to the left (people peering at it). Afraid that's it!
I saw the arrangement in the swirly thing, but not the other. I guess I'd hoped for something that said Spring to me in a more certain way. It's an interesting concept, anyway. Thanks.
