LET THE GAMES BEGIN! LONDON 2012!!

Another Olympic Games is upon us and with a nation of gardeners playing host to the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, you can expect plantings and flowers all around the venues, important landmarks and, of course, the traditional victory bouquets presented to the athletes who stand up on the podium.

Over 20,000 flowers were precisely planted at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.

A meadow band of gold was planted on the south end of the Olympic Park.

The Victory Bouquet

I'm sure the bouquet will grow on me as I watch the games, root for my favorite athletes and teams and watch the victory ceremonies.

First medals to be awarded today and they will be accompanied by these creations:


Flower power behind Olympic bouquets

Looks awesome, but kind of unfortunate that it's all green.
