FLOWER CARPET ON THE GRAND PLACE OF BRUSSELS

Folklore And Tradition : Flowers

© OPT / J.P. Remy

Description:

A million begonias for... one single carpet? This is certainly an extraordinary achievement. The famous Carpet of Flowers covers 1,800 m² right in the centre of the Grand Place. These flowers offer a wide range of vivid and glowing colours and easily resist the burning sun. After all, the craftsmen assemble them directly on the cobble-stones of the square without a layer of soil. The coloured plant tapestry can be admired best from the balcony of the City Hall, which is open to the public for the occasion.
