Photograph article dated July 27, 1965 partially reads, “The floral fanstasyland that is the second annual Los Angeles International Flower Show opened at Pan Pacific Auditorium last night for an 11-day run. Five million multihued blooms spread across the main floor of the auditorium provide the scene that greets viewers as they step onto the ramp inside the building. After the first panoramic glance, spectators may wander about the floor viewing hundreds of displays." Pictured amid the white chrysanthemums is Ahet Kim, Miss Orient.; See image #00132079 for additional photo in this series.
