YUCAIPA - Cathy Kenison and Sherry Ford strolled through aisles of tables filled with vases of flowers and plants. The two Redlands women were on their first visit to the Iris Festival Flower Show at the Yucaipa Community Center on Saturday.

"The artistic quality is exceptional," Kenison said. "Everybody who entered has their way of showing their beauty through their work."

When Kenison's admiring eye caught 12-year-old Grace Robertson's arrangement of mini coke bottles with petals of red and white geraniums blossoming out of the top, she rushed over for a closer look.

"How creative," she said to Grace. The future florist said that the idea of using coke bottles as vases came from the old coke machine her dad keeps in his office in their Yucaipa home."
