Giant carpet made of flowers

Gardeners design a giant carpet made of flowers to form a floral decoration at Brussels' Grand Place August 14, 2012. The design requires about 700,000 flowers to create, according to event organizers.

That was this years carpet ... link is for the 2010 festival which is held every 2 years. With outlines drawn on the ground prior to the day of design, 100 experienced gardeners descend on Brussels' historic Grand-Place square to put together this giant floral jigsaw puzzle in an amazing four hours. There are 300 flowers to every square meter, adding up to roughly 700,000 flowers in total, tightly packed so as not to blow around in the wind. These plants even create their own micro-climate for a few days!
