With the Olympics taking place in just over six weeks
time, it’s recently been announced that Jane Packer has been selected to create
the Victory Bouquet for the medal winners. The bouquet was designed by their creative director,
Susan Lapworth, to reflect the vibrancy and energy of the London
2012 Games. It consists of four different types of roses sectioned
into quadrants to mirror the 2012 logo. The roses being used are Illios
(yellow), Marie Claire (orange), Wimbledon
(green) and Aqua (pink). The quadrants are then separated by English lavender,
rosemary, apple mint and wheat which also provide a lovely fragrance.
The 4,400 bouquets required will be made at the time of the Games with
the help of floristry students from across the country.
