My brother-in-law sent these photos to my e-mail and I was so fascinated looking at them. People in Brussels are so creative in doing these great landscape. Close to 1 million begonia flowers were used to create the 300 square meters carpet in Grand Place, Brussels. The pattern was based on a carpet medieval design.
Craftsmen arranged the carpet by hand, directly onto the square's cobblestones without any soil. Grass and tree bark were also used to provide color.
The first carpet of flowers was created in 1971 as a way to promote begonias. Each square meter of ground contains 300 flowers.
