Commemorating the 1988 Olympic torch relay, Olympic Flame tulips provide the backdrop to Vilem Zach’s sculpture, Share the Flame.

A man and a woman are seen holding an olympic torch at arms' length. Both athletes wear tuques, zippered jackets and long pants. They are standing/kneeling on a stylized maple leaf placed at 45 degree angle on a cement base.

"Like our athletes, the tulips in this garden are outstanding performers. Commemorating the 1988 Olympic torch relay, Olympic Flame tulips provide the backdrop to Vilem Zach’s sculpture, Share the Flame. A two-kilometre stroll along the Rideau Canal from Commissioners Park will lead you to this garden."
