"Festival de Las Flores."
Entrance exhibit. An alluring entrance into the Puerto Rican
town of Loiza.

"The festival of flowers surround you as you enter the town of Loiza on the coast of Puerto Rico. The colorful architecture and lush tropical foliage create the background setting for the annual Fiesta Santiago de Apostol.

The Fiesta with brilliant costumed characters and enchanting drums, celebrates the struggle between good and evil."

"Topiary: The old Tijuana cantina. Sway to the music of the mariachi bands see the couples dancing and the barkeeper hard at work.

A lovely senorita descends the staircase and an old dog sleeps in the  corner. All of the figures have been
created from living parts and cut flowers...a  festive Mexican influence."
