Just What Are Those Winter Olympic Flowers.....

Just What are those Winter Olympic Flowers.....

Sorry - no roses at the 2010 OlympicsLast night I heard a report on the NBC Nightly News about the bouquets given to the medal winners at the Olympics. The creators of the bouquets are part of a program run through a flower shop in Surrey, British Columbia. The women who create these bouquets are "women who have left prison, are recovering from addiction, or have been victims of violence"  . Amazing! And the flowers are green mums (yes I was right!) and hypericum berries.

I've been wondering about those bouquets.  Green mums!  I didn't even know they existed.  And the rest of the story is amazing.

VANOC Vancouver Olympic Organization Committee made a comitment to draw from and support the community. This is one example of that commitment.

Ruthmarie, I didn't know they existed either, but they really looked like mums a sturdy flower.

That is so great that these women can feel like they are part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. That should give them a positive boost.
