Brussels' 20th Flower Carpet displayed with Japanese theme
Brussels has been decorated by a Japanese-themed giant flower carpet to pay tribute to Belgium’s history of international relations.
The 76-meter-long carpet is laid at Brussels’ Grand Place Square to mark the 20th Flower Carpet display. It is made of some 600000 begonias and dahlias that form a Japanese crane and a red sun in the middle surrounded by swimming Koi and blooming plants.
The bird and the pattern symbolize peace, fortune and longevity in the Asian culture. Around a hundred workers and volunteers have contributed to the creation of the flower carpet. The 15th century square is a UNESCO world Heritage site and hosts the colorful event biennially.
