Sunflowers are now blooming outside Michael Jackson's crypt.
Grower Jason Levin on Friday delivered up to 2,000 sunflowers to the massive marble and concrete Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale.
Levin says he decided to donate the $3,000 to $5,000 worth of bright yellow flowers after hearing Lisa Marie Presley complained there were only a few bouquets, candles and gifts surrounding the tomb. And Levin heard sunflowers were the late pop star's favorite.
Levin, the owner of The Sunflower Guy in San Diego County, loaded up a truck and left Vista at dawn. Three hours later, he was unloading the flowers outside the heavily guarded mausoleum. Forest Lawn officials told him they would take them inside.
Jackson died at age 50 on June 25.

Wasn't our attention drawn to the fact that the sunflower is one of the illuminati symbols?
Was LMP asking for more sun showers or for more sunflowers?
And doesn't MySpace belong to R. Murdoch's realm?
Who is gardener and who is goat here?
Are we (blinded) changing color?
Grace, the sunflowerguy who donated the sunflowers to Forest Lawn is Harvey's relative. Harve is in the Good Camp, don't forget that.
Also, don't forget LMP attended the green screened burial, so she must know he ain't dead...
So the people who attended thought it was perfectly normal to attend a burial at Culver City Studios, surrounded by green screens, directors, cameras..? <!-- s --><!-- s -->
Anything, I mean anything is possible there that we would think is impossible.
Yes, I have been in L.A. Grace. I agree anything is possible, but don't tell me that people who have no idea what's going on wouldn't raise eye brows if they had to attend such a burial, specially when it's Michael Jackson's.
We thought it was more than odd to rehearse for a funeral - well maybe that one was the real deal for the non-official, non-original body. And if there was a real ceremony as a rehearsal for some and a real evening for others - then who should be suspicious? Do we know if the persons attending the two evenings were the same?
We know little.
Wasn't that rehearsal the day before for the Memorial? I'm talking about the burial. LMP attended the burial, not the Memorial.
I just remembered History tour and earth song.. and the end of the song..
a sunflower in solder hand...
Good memory, I'm gonna watch that again.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Nope, the "dress rehearsal" took place the night before the burial.

A pity we haven't seen any sunflowers at memorial / burial.

It was very beautiful show..
a little girl gave him(solder) a sunflower and then Michael took his hand and the song ends..
so i thought maybe it means something.. since we are his LOVE solders.. his army.. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
I went to the thread you linked to, and found that one poster mentioned a "dress rehearsal" for the burial, and then two other posters make comments to that post.
I have watched the news very closely the days prior to the burial and on the day of the burial. I have never heard or seen anything about a "dress rehearsal" prior to the burial. I went through the entire TMZ recap of September, and nothing is mentioned in their articles. A google search doesn't return any results either.
If there has been a "dress rehearsal" on September 2nd and I missed that part, then I would really like to see/hear where it's mentioned in the media. Can you please link me?
The sunflowers made the Dutch national news at 6PM. They showed footage of them at Forest Lawn.
Sure Mo, there are several sources stating this. The rehearsal was also discussed on MJHD.
It was very odd and we thought it was done to get some material for the Jackson reality show.
