The floral gift given to each athlete who won a medal was most interesting. There's quite a story behind it. There was a competition and florists were asked to submit ideas. Interflora was behind the winning idea, and some 45 florists worked full time during the games to ensure that all medal winners received an exact replica of the winning design.
The flowers were heliconias, and mini gerberas (Harley - a sprightly orange) which were surrounded by yellow "billy buttons", and an anthyrium on the outside of an extra-ordinary frame. The arrangement had to withstand rough handling by the competitors - it must not fall apart. As far as I saw it didn't.
We were tickled pink about the arrangement - they certainly weren't our Harley's in the Comm Game flowers but they are one of our favourites in our hot house.
