Yep, those are giant bouquets of flowers popping up in public trash cans in the Triangle - WRAL.com

Lindenfeld Hall, Go Ask Mom editorNope ... your eyes aren't deceiving you. That was a giant flower bouquet springing up from a public trash can in Chapel Hill. The N.C. Museum of Art is at it again with its trash can bouquets to promote its fifth annual Art in Bloom, which runs March 21 to March 24. Last year, the museum placed five giant bouquets around downtown Raleigh to promote the event. This year, they've more than tripled the number to 17 and expanded to across the Triangle. Two bouquets have already popped up at Chapel Hill’s Peace and Justice Plaza and the Chapel Hill Public Library, with three more Franklin Street locations planned through Sunday, March 10, according to a news release. The Town of Chapel Hill helped coordinate locations ahead of the town’s Second Friday Art Walk and Saturday’s UNC–Chapel Hill vs. Duke University basketball rematch in Chapel Hill.

Group Places Flowers At Site Of Toppled 'Silent Sam'

Confederate statue known as "Silent Sam," which formerly stood on the main campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.The News & Observer reported that the North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans placed the flowers Saturday morning. The group said in a statement to the newspaper and other local media that the flowers were purchased with "hundreds of individual donations." "These donors wanted to do something to show their sadness for what occurred on August 20 as well as to appreciate the sacrifice of these students of the University who were American veterans," the group said. The "Silent Sam" memorial had stood at UNC Chapel Hill since 1913. The statue had been at the center of protests and calls for removal that intensified over the past year following a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The school had spent a reported $390,000 on camera surveillance and security around the statue, according to the News and Observer. "Silent Sam" was torn down Aug. 20 by protesters who called it a racist symbol. On Friday, UNC Chancellor Carol Folt strongly hinted that the school won't return the statue to the main qu...

By Janine Bowen, WRAL.com editorChapel Hill, N.C. - There was a show of support surrounding the "Silent Sam" monument Saturday, as dozens of flower bouquets were placed around the pedestal of the Confederate statue on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. Protesters tore down the "Silent Sam" statue on Aug. 20 and only the pedestal remains on campus as university officials work to determine the statue's future. Flowers that surrounded the statue on Saturday had been donated from around the country. "Every Saturday people are bring out their flowers in memorial from Silent Sam. We came all the way from Fayetteville just to ride out here and show our support and give our respect," John Tuzzio said.

UNC Chancellor Carol Folt said earlier this week that the "Silent Sam" statue has a place in the university's history and on campus, but perhaps not in the prominent place it once stood. The "Si...
