120 Minutes…Top Designers…A Mystery Assignment

The Sylvia Cup Design Competition is the longest running, live, national annual floral design competition. Sponsored by the California Cut Flower Commission (CCFC), the Sylvia Cup tested the skills of 22 designers. Among them were winners of state and regional floral industry design contests, serial design competitors, designers of the year and members of the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD).

John Hosek, AIFD, PFCI, CAFA, CF, of the Design Circle, in Verona, Wis., won the grand prize in this year's 44th Competition held on Sept. 15th during SAF Palm Springs 2011 - Congratulations to John and all the contestants!

It was exciting to see all the wonderful bouquets and designs that were created using the same product assortment of beautiful California Grown flowers and foliage, including our very own Protea Fiesta and Leucadendron Safari Sunset!  Here's a glimpse of some of these creative designs - Enjoy!!!
