Aren't flowers beautiful?
Brussels sprouts 650,000 flowers
By Tom Peck
Saturday, 14 August 2010
If you have ever wondered what more than half a million begonias look like, the Grand Place in Brussels is the place to be this weekend.
The giant flower carpet in the Belgian capital has become a biennial tradition since its inception in 1971, and attracts thousands of visitors. This year's arrangement is a tribute to the Belgian presidency of the European Union. Surrounding the 650,000 flowers are the city's medieval guildhalls, old town hall and Breadhouse. Together they make the Grand Place, known in Dutch as the Grote Markt, the city's most popular tourist destination.
