"I attended a session given by none other than J Schwanke titled "Future Flower Trends". There is no better presenter at 8 am, than J!  He is like a flamboyant bumblebee stinging you with intellect and humor while making it all feel good. I will summarize what I learned by saying that you must keep your eyes and ears open to what is out there in front of you every day. Color, texture, form and theme. His hot new trends are Fairy Tale, Heirloom, Cumulus, and Fleur La Table."
