As preparations for the Paris Olympic Games continue behind the scenes, a floral novelty is about to dazzle the French capital: the Olympic Dahlia. With its flamboyant red hue, this emblematic flower has been carefully created to symbolize the passion of the Games, and will be lighting up Parisian gardens all summer long.
The adventure of this exceptional variety began in the laboratories of the Parc Floral de Paris, where the Olympic Dahlia came to life in jars meticulously supervised by the flower's creator Christophe Kneblewski. Its petals, in the colors of the Olympic flame, underline the emotional connection between the flower and the spirit of the Games. Like an athlete in training, the Olympic Dahlia will be pampered until it reaches full maturity, before blooming majestically in the capital's parks and gardens. So be sure to plant it at the right time, so that there will be flowers until the end of the sporting event.
The Parisian landscape will thus be transformed into a vibrant canvas of red, a floral celebration that will accompany the ballet of tourists from all over the world who come to take part in the sporting event of the year!
