Expo ’90 offered a festival of entertainment and education, pageantry and beauty, commercial hucksterism and floral magic. For some it was the flower show to end all flower shows, displaying more than three million different plants in every type of garden setting. For others, it was an international food fair, with nearly 80 countries serving up their delicacies. And, finally, it offered a glimpse into the 21st century: as has been the case with all recent world’s fairs, particularly those taking place in Japan, it was an opportunity for high-tech industries to show off their newest gadgetry. The United States is officially represented at the fair by the State of Hawaii exhibit; also participating are California, San Francisco and Chicago.

The fresh flower design project by Tatiana Chelekhova  was awarded at the EXPO ’90 with Silver Price.
