In Willard L. Metcalf's 1913 painting,
The Winter's Festival, green and
russet colors underlay the landscape.
In Yukiko's bouquet, budding pussy
willows overlay blowing snow above white
blanket of lilies. Russets of cymbidium
sprigs and pussy willow branches
harmonize the greens of calla lilies and
kale leaves.

Croy, with her Son Phillip-Eugenie,

Yukiko has exhibited her floral
designs in the SF Museums' Bouquets
to Art since 2002. The Covid
pandemic interrupted this year's
event; however, nearly all her
previous museum installations are
shown on this page.
The North Korean "wanna cry"
internet virus destroyed many of
these original image files. In most
cases we retrieved duplicate files
from elsewhere on the internet.
So, here they are.
