Nicknamed “Booming,” the Olympic flower bouquet is beautiful and is filled with meaning.  Here at Sweet Blossoms Hawaii, we give our best shot at making one of our own.

“The flower that will play the leading role is the Chinese red rose, a flower species first cultivated by the Chinese people. As red is propitious in Chinese tradition, red Chinese roses are suitable to convey the hospitality of the Chinese people,”

Â

“They represent friendship, unity and fairness, and bless the Olympic Games with great success.”

9 China red roses
6 fragrant plantain lilies (veronica)
6 pieces of ophiogon japonicus grass,
