Brussels is a city so beautiful that it hardly needs any decoration. Once every two years, its beauty is at its highest when a carpet is laid out over its most beautiful landmark, the Grand Place Square. This might sound strange, to cover a monument with a carpet, but when you understand that the carpet is made of nearly one million flowers, it paints a much prettier picture.
The floral masterpiece was first designed in 1971. The carpet is 77 meters by 24 meters and is made in a different pattern each time. Begonias are the only flower used in the production of the carpet. They are chosen for their strength and the vivid colors they come in.

布魯塞爾是一座相當美麗的城市，幾乎不需要任何的妝點。每隔兩年，花毯會在該市最美麗的地標 ── 布魯塞爾大廣場之中開展，此時是布魯塞爾最美的時候。為布魯塞爾大廣場這個歷史遺跡鋪上毯子或許聽起來很奇怪，但是當您知道這是用將近一百萬朵花所做成的花毯時，腦中勾勒出的是一幅更加動人的如畫美景。
這幅花卉名作於 1971 年首次被設計出來。花毯長 77 米，寬 24 米，每次都有不同的圖案。秋海棠是製作花毯時唯一用到的花卉。人們選擇秋海棠是因為它的強韌還有其鮮艷的顏色。
