Two 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade floats which included Resendiz Brothers Protea Growers silverleaf flowers won awards from the Rose Parade judges.
The Judges’ Special Award for the most spectacular float in showmanship and dramatic impact was given to the "Pac-Man’s 30th Anniversary Party" float of Namco Bandai Games America, Inc., and The Quickrete Companies won the Bob Hope Humor Award for the most comical and amusing float with "What America’s Made Of." Festival Artists Worldwide/Artistic Entertainment Services designed both floats and also used Resendiz Brothers silverleaf flowers on the helmet floats of the two Rose Bowl football teams.
"That was really nice," Festival Artists floral consultant Andrea Zepeda said of winning two awards with floats using the Rainbow nursery’s flowers.
The Pac-Man float featured the yellow video game star holding up a birthday cake safely out of reach of the goblins that have historically chased Pac-Man. The Resendiz Brothers silverleaf petals were used for the plate which held the cake.
