We had some FC members working on those floats. 
In this post rich said
Rich's partner Scott was selected to be one of the three float judges a few years back. (No florists were present in that group this year.)
I *think* FlowerDiva (Kim) and her mom worked at Fiesta Floats, the company that built FTD's.
Hope both of these members share their experiences with us. If anyone else from FC worked on the parade, let us know.
The weather here was brutal compared to normal Pasadena parade day standards with the rain was coming down in buckets at several points. I really noticed the workmanship as the top float companies' flowers and gluing staying in place and in good condition. A few of the floats (self-built or small company) showed large gaps in glued areas where the dried materials simply washed away.
The floats will be on display at a park in Pasadena for the next few days if anyone wants to hop a plane.

That float won the International Award for being chosen the 'most beautiful entry from outside the continental US.' It was stunning.

Congratulations to all who had the honor and the experience of working on the floats.
To bad FTD's "your wish is our command" was not thier slogan to the Real Florist. I nearly fell over laughing when I saw the picture with the caption.
