Parade of Roses Flower Floats
The tournament of Roses Parade occurs before the coveted Rose Bowl football game and is considered Americas New year Celebration. During the week of the parade which occurs on new years day or the day after if new years day occurs on a Sunday over 1,000,000 people visit Pasadena, California to see some amazing flower-covered floats, marching bands and equestrians. Below is a selection of some of the stunning floats which make up the bulk of the parade and here is an astonishing fact it takes around 36 marigolds, 30 roses or 20 daises to cover one square foot of a float a rough calculation estimates the total number of flowers used in the parade to be around 18 million!!!
