see photos from a FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS 2002
WAFA (World Association of Flower Arrangers) held their 7th
World Show - "FLORAMONDI" in the Scottish Exhibition & Conference
Centre in Glasgow, Scotland, from 13-16 June 2002. It is held every 3
years in a different country and this was the 7th time in its 21 year
history.
To reflect the truly global nature of the
event there were 26 international Honorary exhibits from member countries
of WAFA. All 5 continents were represented and each design reflected the
style and culture and flora of its country of origin. These exhibits are
non-competitive.

In the Matopo
Hills southern Zimbabwe, granite rocks rise in splendid confusion. Three
thousand million years have passed since these great masses of granite
surged upward and then cooled. Over aeons, some masses fractured and
weathering caused them to fragment into oddly assorted shapes; many are
fanciful in outline and precariously balanced.
The Quiver Tree ( The Kokerboom) stands
out as a feature of interest in the bare landscape in which they grow.
They store water and can resist drought for years. The bushmen fashioned
quivers for arrows from the hollowed out brancesn hence the name Quiver
Tree.
