"Fleurs de Villes Lunaire has returned to Westfield Valley Fair for another colorful, floral celebration of Lunar New Year. The free exhibition, which opened to the public Wednesday and runs through Feb. 17, showcases the talents of 15 Bay Area floral designers. Their flower and plant-based installations all include the same blank mannequin and represent different aspects of the celebration including Chinese opera and wedding gowns, dragon dances, the lunar cycle, fireworks, red envelopes and gold coins."
"At the center of the exhibition is a stunning monument to the Year of the Horse, created by the Bloomsters team led by owner and lead designer Kren Rasmussen. The Fire Horse is ridden by a female warrior, dressed in scale armor made out of layered succulents. The horse's body is covered with corn husks, the flames are made with dyed wheat stalks and the rider's dark boots are covered with chia seeds."
"Visitors can vote for their favorite and be entered for a chance to win an overnight stay for two at the Rosewood Sand Hill also home to one of the installations and a $200 Eataly gift card. Building on the incredible response to last year's debut, this fresh-floral celebration once again brings the spirit of Lunar New Year to life"
