Catherine and I made our first trip to the California State Floral Association’s annual Top Ten design competition last weekend. Catherine is actually a board member, so she was there running the silent auction. I was officially doing ‘whatever Catherine needed’. In between lifting heavy things and locating misplaced heavy things and then lifting them, I was able to catch some of the competition. I thought it might be cool to present it to you as a photo essay since the best part of the show is seeing the great work the floral designers did. So without further ado, the 2011 CSFA Top Ten competition!
