Olympic Flowers

Olympic Flowers:

.Just in case you are interested

The (odd-looking?) bouquet of flowers presented to each medalist on the

podium - 1,800 in all - are all the same, made up of green spider mums with

hypericum berries surrounded by leather-leaf fern, monkey grass, and

aspidistra leaves.

What's really interesting? They're all made by Just Beginning Flowers, a

non-profit company in Surrey BC Canada that employs women who are just out of prison,

abused, fighting addiction, or with special needs, and teaches them how to

be florists..
