The Carpet of Flowers

Every 2 years Grand Place is the setting for a truly impressive display..........the carpet of flowers. One million begonias are used to weave this colourful 1,800 square metre tapestry. The carpet is laid in 48 hours with the aid of 120 volunteers. The display lasts as long as the begonias stay fresh; a mere 4 days.

Glynn and I got to see the spectacular firework display on the evening of its inauguration. Wow, wow!!
