The AIFD National Symposium "Waves 2002" was held in San Diego, California, July 4 - 8 at the Marriot Hotel, and was attended by nearly 1,300 people.
One of the event's features was a tribute to Silverio Casabar, AIFD. Tayama was once again honored to sponsor the floral product for Silverio's show.
These candid snapshots were taken in the backroom work area prior to the show.
Assorted Lobster and Caribea Heliconia, Obake Anthurium, and assorted Gingers combine with woven Palm leaves and Silverio's signature Ti leaf "rosette" make this arrangement a tropical masterpiece.
Pleated and braided Hala and Ti leaves are paired with Green/White Obake Anthuriums for one of Silverio's unique designs.
Even Silverio gets surprised by the beauty of his many floral creations!
