Here's hoping Mike Sobel's Groundhog was right and Spring has come early ;)  

Floral facts...



I saw THIS great link about the Olympic floral bouquets  on Knitting on Impulse.  It's really interesting!!

I particularly liked:  


  • For the 2010 Winter Games, 1,800 bouquets in total will be made with 1,707 awarded to athletes (1,055 Olympic and 652 Paralympic). All of the flowers and greens will be carefully hand selected and shaped into the bouquets by marginalized women, who may be recovering from addiction, leaving prison, exiting the sex trade, or who have been victims of violence, as well as by other women they train with who are changing careers to become florists.
  • This group of 22 women have learned the floral trade through the Just Beginnings Flowers Society, a non-profit social enterprise located in Surrey, BC. The flower shop and floral design school is run by Strandberg and also employs women with physical and mental challenges to prep the flowers for the designers. This experience not only connects the women with the world’s top athletes but provides employment experience in a true and lasting legacy of the Games.

I think thats wonderful!!!!
