World's
Largest Fresh Flower Bouquet To Raise Funds for Nelson Mandela Children's
Fund
JOHANNESBURG - The
world's largest fresh flower bouquet has been created in Johannesburg
to raise funds for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
It was also made to wish the former president a speedy recovery from
his prostate cancer.
Several of his children accepted the bouquet on his behalf.
The bouquet rose 6.5 metres high, spread 3.75 metres, weighed close
to four tons and overtook the previous record of 28,801 flowers set
by the Missouri Botanical Gardens in 1998.
702 Talk Radio and Telkom organised the Spring Day event, which saw
the bouquet built over two days at Sandton City's Fountain Court, reports
IOL.
Each flower bought by a member of the public represented a 10 rand
donation to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
A number of florists and other firms donated flowers and materials
towards the building of the bouquet.
