To mark its 100th anniversary, the flower broker Fleurop-Interflora came up with something special, and it cost a pretty penny. True to the motto: "We'll use any means to deliver the flowers", it had Swiss celebrities parachute over five selected locations as Fleurop ambassadors. They included ski jumper Simon Ammann, skier Bruno Kernen, former Miss Switzerland Jennifer Ann Gerber, pop singer Paloma Würth and former Mister Switzerland Renzo Blumenthal. They and other helpers presented the numerous onlookers in Arbon (TG), Mels (SG), Meggen (LU), Bellach (SO) and Fribourg (FR) with over 16,000 sunflowers. In keeping with the Fleurop motto "Give joy with flowers", the celebrities not only had to give flowers for hours but also sign autographs, according to the press release. The "Fleurop Angels" landed on football pitches and cow pastures. Nothing is known about any mishaps during landings in the pastures.
