White Carnation Winner's Blanket - Belmont Stakes
The
white carnation is the traditional flower of the Belmont Stakes.
The blanket of carnations worn by the Belmont Stakes winner
takes 10 man hours to put together, as between 300-400
carnations are glued onto a green velveteen spread. The flowers
must be shipped in from either California or Bogota, Colombia.
