About Thousands of visitors come to see the flowermosaics displayed in competitors gardens to admire the fine workmanship evidenced by these beautiful works of art. The flowers are fastened with pins to a styrofoam base. About 10.000 pins and flowers are used for each squeare meter and they are attached with precision. Mosaics are made in a number of subjects, like cartoons, paintings, portraits and topics of the day!

If you imagine they only stay for about one week,
as flowers normally do as well, the mosaics have
a short life since they are made of the tiny
flowers that grow on the spring flowers, there
are many colours to choose from!

Hope you like one of our arts, shot this yesterday, will see some more today, the weather
is lovely!
Wishing you a lovely Sunday, Jenxx

Dear Jen!
Very amazing about. And your sentiments for informing us very nice and naive. And your ways also so diffent. You have a different naive understanding of humanity and desire of share. You are like a story teller and mobile encyclopedia for us. You are meriting a big respect.
Wonderful shot. Best Regards
ALI

Well, I might be a bit pale my sweety, but not like this anymore;)))) Been on the beach today and catched some sun, away from laying between the tulips for hours!!! Also lots of tourists asking for taken their picture, great to do, like a personal photographer:)) Lots of fun!!!
Amazing isnt it to see all these thousands of flowers all pinned together to one painting...I didnt use a sunblock by the way.....:))
Big hugs my dear friend, xxJen
