Boo Kay is an abstract sculpture of a bouquet of flowers planted near the sidewalk. It consists of a thirteen flower stems growing out of a circular concrete base, with the words "Boo Kay", the artist's name and the date 1995 done in steel script lettering. Each stem is tipped with a whimsical silhouette art piece. The bouquet is very tall, perhaps 13 feet, and each flower tip is an artwork by itself. I walked around to gather photos of each flower.

The silhouette flower tips are clearly related to the nearby sculptures of Mark Bulwinkle in the shopping center parking lot.

The sculpture can be seen in Google Street View.
