Resendiz Bros. flowers part of award-winning Rose Parade float
For the second year in a row, a Tournament of Roses Parade float which included silverleaf flowers from Resendiz Brothers Protea Growers in Rainbow earned an award from the parade’s judges.
The Resendiz Brothers nursery includes plants other than proteas, and petals from the leucadendron argenteum tree, also known as silverleaf or silvertree, were on the China Airlines float which won the International award for the most beautiful entry from outside the Continental United States.
The float was designed by Festival Artists Worldwide and titled "Taiwan’s Guardian - The Third Prince." According to Chinese mythology, Nezha, the third prince, was successful in combating demons.
Petals from Resendiz Brothers silverleaf trees were placed on Nezha’s spear. "We wanted to highlight the spear to really make it stand out," said Andrea Zepeda, a floral consultant for Festival Artists/Artistic Entertainment Services.
The silverleaf was actually a last-minute addition to the float. "I just thought that silverleaf would stand out better, and it did," Zepeda said.
