Monday was the beginning of the 41st annual Bouquets to Art at the San Francisco de Young and Legion of Honor museums.
For the week-long event, designers have created huge floral displays as botanical interpretations of the museums' artworks and architecture.
"You can see we have a whole inferno behind us, so many flames on this gallery. And that is actually the inspiration," lead designer Raul Dueñas said.
