Students Grow Own Flowers for Rose Parade in Pasadena
California students at Cal Poly Pomona and peers in San Luis Obispo manage about 300 000 flowers for the Tournament of Roses Parade. They plant stock in spring, transplant to fields, and harvest blooms in early December to match the float designs such as the 1977 Tans of Fun elephant. Local and Hawaii origin blossoms mix with regional mowers and chrysanthemums shaping the route spectacle.
