revolutionaries is absolutely, you know, and that was that was a rare find. >> we found that at a nursery about a week or two ago. >> and then we knew we wanted tall rectangular copper for creator lesli kay, images of the metal hardware on a rooftop became the vase and stand for her arrangement. yeah, the inspiration actually was this copper rectangle with all of its creative challenges, the exhibit has grown in popularity over the decades, drawing tens of thousands of visitors and critical support for the museum over the years. >> bouquets to art has raised something like $9 million for the fine art museums, and it is art in its own right. >> crowds of floral artists converge on the deyoung in a mad rush to set up the temporary exhibits. plucking, placing and rearranging, sometimes over and over again, and in the end, sojo

sakai believes the perfectionism is mirrored in the joy the flowers create. >> so i think that, you know, when you see something a perfect art form, i think you you become happy. i believe if you are not, you are. something wrong? >> in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc seven news. >> fantastic bouquets to art runs through sunday at the de young museum in san francisco. >> you can and probably should buy tickets in advance. all right, well, this weather will make flowers and us wilt. yes, i gave my roses extra water today. sandhya. oh, good plan. i hope those roses do. okay, dan, let's take a look at the heat advisory now includes santa cruz county. all areas shaded in orange, which is inland valleys and mountains along with santa cruz county until midnight thursday. we have an excessive heat warning for solano county until 8 p.m. thursday. risk of heat illnesses there, so take it easy and stay hydrated on live doppler seven. skies are clear right now as we head into tomorrow. another day of hot

the guy we expected. the niners have signed running back christian mccaffrey to a two year extension that will keep him in red and gold through the 2027 season. mccaffrey had no guaranteed money left on his previous contract, so this solves that issue. opens up some salary cap space as well. the way they reconfigured the money, it also raises mccaffrey's average annual salary to $19 million a year, which is extremely high for the running

back position nowadays. mccaffrey was the offensive player of the year last season, racking up more than 1400 yards rushing, a total of 21 touchdowns rushing and receiving. now he had skipped the previous voluntary minicamps, but christian was on hand for the mandatory camp today. >> i really appreciate the players on the team. i think, you know, anytime you sign an extension, obviously you're individually really happy, but then you also have to think about the other guys on the team who have helped you get there and who are a big part of your individual success. so i really, you know, i'm very thankful that i'm on a team with guys like that, with a great staff, just an overall great organization takes care of the players. and so i've had nothing but an amazing experience in my time here. and i'm really fired up that i'm staying. well not present in santa clara. >> wide receiver brandon aiyuk, who is waiting on his own contract extension. he is holding out of these camps. aiyuk is looking for wide receiver, one type money that's around 25 million a year and up now, the niners usually do these extensions just before training

camp begins, which is when deebo samuel got his extension a couple of years ago. and deebo told us today he has talked with aiyuk about what can be a really frustrating process. much as i can, actually, i know it's a stressful time and, you know, you know, he's he's done a tremendous job throughout his career here. >> and, you know, when it comes to things like this, you know, it get tough and, you know, some things you kind of take personal and it's just like overall it's just a it's just a stressful process to be honest with you. you want to get what you deserve. and at the end of the day, you hope it happens. but it's not going to happen in a timely manner that you want it to happen. >> patience. patience. tonight's the home opener for the oakland ballers at newly renovated raymond field. and we, we say newly renovated. we mean they were working on the field late this afternoon. last minute up the first pitch. former giants first baseman j.t. snow. he's a bench coach for the ballers and he likes what he sees. >> it's really impressive what the owners have done putting this together. the field, we just came off a 12 day road trip

in montana and then colorado springs, the boys are playing, well, seven and five on the year. we got six guys hitting over 350, and we're swinging the bat, so a lot of tip of the cap to the, the volunteers that have come out and put this thing together. we're going to have over 4000 people here tonight to sell out. and it's going to be very exciting. so, we're ready to go. >> meanwhile, the a's have a home game tonight against seattle, former sharks start joe pavelski retiring. he played the first 13 seasons of his career with san jose. then the final five for the dallas stars, who just lost in the western conference finals. pavelski 39 years old. he was a key leader for team teal. the sharks really missed his leadership in recent seasons. pavelski holds the nhl record for most playoff goals scored by a united states born player, 74 total in 201 games. all right, abc seven sports. brought to you by smart and final. i want to come back to the 40 niners situation because there's a lot of confusion here. people think, well mccaffrey just got x money. no the niners have a process here. and this

deal for mccaffrey actually freed up salary cap space for brandon aiyuk. trading him makes no sense because they're going all in on winning the super bowl this season. yeah that's great because they've got all these high paid guys. now next year it may be an issue when you have to deal with brock purdy's contract. he'll get paid for real. that's going to be 40, 45 million. you know, anchorman type money. yeah. there we go. thanks, larry. >> yeah. all right. coming up tonight on abc seven celebrity wheel of fortune, followed by celebrity jeopardy! the $100,000 pyramid is on at ten. and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel. >> larry, bill, all of us. we appreciate your time for that kind of money. i would let those
