LA Fleur Expo 2002 "Trend Setting"

The second annual LA Fleur Expo "Trend Setting" was held on Sunday, August 25, 2002 at the Los Angeles Flower Market (home of our Los Angeles location). The event was produced again by a collaboration of the following organizations: the LA Flower Market, Associated Florists of Southern California, and the California State Florists Association.

It was a fabulous event, featuring a crowd of more than 500 attendees. Once again, the Master of Ceremonies was James Lynch, AIFD, and President of the Associated Florists of Southern California. James was also one of Tayama's past Featured Floral Designers. Other designers showcased at the event included Kim Morrill, AIFD, of Seattle, Washington, and Rich Salvaggio, AIFD, AAF, PFCI, and Immediate National Past President of AIFD.

The following photos show just a few of the many wonderful designs produced by Kim, Rich and Jim:

This stunning glass vase arrangement includes red rubrum lilies, liatris, lavender Cattleya orchids, equisitum and silver-treated palm leaves.
