What flowers are used for the winter Olympics bouquet?

Cashmere flowers in the bouquet of Beijing Winter Olympics.

No matter which Olympic Games, flowers and medals always complement each other. The medals of this Beijing Winter Olympics adopt a circular ring with the center of the circle, and the image comes from the ancient concentric jade. The matching bouquet is different from the traditional flowers, this time it is a velvet flower woven by Shanghai wool.

Except that it never fades, each bouquet of velvet flowers is unique. These bouquets are hand-woven by the disabled welfare foundations in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Each place is responsible for weaving a bouquet, and finally all of them will gather at the headquarters of Shanghai Hengyuanxiang Group.

Although velvet flowers are not as delicate as flowers, athletes can take them back to China after the competition, which is also based on the concept of sustainable development. In addition, the weaving technology of velvet flowers is also an intangible cultural heritage of our country, which is also an opportunity to show our traditional culture to foreigners.
