  • Story Text: Tourists visiting Brussels's Grand Place have been admiring a huge carpet of flowers laid out in the form of a piece of lace embroidery, a spectacle that adds a colourful addition to the city's famous town hall.
    The famous Grand Place of Brussels has decorated with a 70-metre long flower carpet in the form of a traditional lace.
    The design was put together in one day by 100 volunteers using around 1 million begonia flowers.
    Chosen for its qualities of robustness, resistance to bad weather and strong sunshine, the begonia guarantees the long life and freshness of the carpet. It also gives it a rich range of colours - from vivid reds to delicate pastel shades.
