The 23rd edition of this ephemeral masterpiece was set to be historic, as for the first time, dahlias will form the main design.
Historically, the Brussels Flower Carpet was primarily composed of begonias. This year, the spotlight is on the splendid dahlias. Flowers From Belgium have turned to the creators of the Loenhout Flower Parade for inspiration.
This year, over 80% (1,300 m²) of the gigantic 1,600 m² carpet was composed of fresh dahlias in various colors and varieties. Grown in Belgium, the dahlia is both a robust and decorative flower, appreciated and used by the millions on the floats of the Loenhout Flower Parade.
**Rhizome** was specially and uniquely designed for the Flower Carpet. It is a nod to Brussels and Art Nouveau, as well as a tribute to Street Art, youth, and surrealism.
