The Society of American Florists (SAF) held their 134th Annual Convention in Rancho Mirage, California. It was three action packed days of educational sessions and workshops, thought-provoking breakfast sessions, the Sylvia Cup Design Competition and the Outstanding Varieties Competition featuring the best flowers, foliage and plants from farms around the world.
The Outstanding Varieties Competition has always been a great way for us to help educate wholesalers, florists, designers and other farmers about the amazing Proteas we grow, especially some of the lesser known varieties. It puts our flowers and foliage in front of the attendees so they can see them up close as well as touch and feel them. This year we had nine entries competing in three categories: Other Cut Flowers, Decorative Foliage and Flowering Potted Plant. And they were all Blue and Red Ribbon Winners… Here's how we fared:
People’s Choice & Blue Ribbon:
Protea Madiba – Other Cut Flower
Blue Ribbon:
Protea Arctic Ice – Other Cut Flower
Red Ribbon:
Leucospermum Ayoba Sun – Other Cut Flower
Protea Ivy – Other Cut Flower
Leucadendron Senorita – Decorative Foliage
Leucadendron African Tulip – Decorative Foliage
Leucadendron Phylica – Decorative Foliage
Eucalyptus Macrocarpa – Decorative Foliage
Protea King – Flowering Potted Plant
