Florescence, one of the nation's largest competitive flower shows, is presented by River Oaks Garden Club, The Garden Club of Houston and the MFAH. This biennial event showcases floral and horticultural arrangements created by garden club experts, renowned floral and garden designers and other noted personalities. Many of the featured arrangements are inspired by works of art and reflect the 2015 theme, "Illusions."

The Florescence general exhibition is open to the public in galleries throughout the Beck Building.
