Brussels Flower Carpet 2014

Every other year, there is a giant carpet created on the Grand Place in downtown Brussels from begonias.  It is a sight worth seeing!  2 years ago, we had been in England during the great "rescue the Sister with the broken elbow" escapade.  We came back to Brussels on the very last day of the flower carpet, and temperatures reaching almost 100F.  It was not very pretty.

This year, it was very cool, grey and overcast.  Actually, probably not a bad forecast for keeping the flowers looking their best.  Just not an overly great forecast for mid-August.

Isn't that beautiful?  I'm glad we got to see it this year, since there is a good chance we won't be here in 2 more years!
