Silverleaf flowers from Resendiz Brothers Protea Growers in Rainbow were on four Tournament of Roses Parade floats Jan. 2.
Festival Artists Worldwide/Artistic Entertainment Services used the Resendiz Brothers silverleaf on the China Airlines, Namco Bandai Games America, University of Oregon, and University of Wisconsin floats.
"Scott Lamb, our floral director, had a great vision of where to put the silverleaf on each one of our floats this year, so it turned out great," said Andrea Zepeda, a floral consultant for Festival Artists/Artistic Entertainment Services.
Festival Artists has been working with Resendiz Brothers Protea Growers since 2008 during preparation for the 2009 floats. In each of the four years at least one float with Resendiz Brothers silverleaf has won an award; this year China Airlines received the International award for the most beautiful entry outside of the 50 U.S. states or the District of Columbia. The China Airlines float was titled "Spirit of Prosperity and Harmony."
