Tayama Florals in the 2002 Rose Parade
|
 |
As it has since 1947, Tayama supplied floral and tropical product for the 2002 Tournament of Roses Parade.
Though this year's parade took place under overcast skies, the floats themselves were ablaze in floral color and texture, as they illustrated this year's theme of "Good Times." Tayama products were featured prominently, as the photos on this page show.
