Oh dear, Sacha. More like an astonishing waste of time than a labour of
love. The whole thing is quite horrible.

I'm glad someone has said that. How long will the flowers last? Next to no
time. Would have been much better left where they were are the artistic
handiwork of those concerned put some more permanent project with a few pots
of paint for example.

Well, I agree with Sacha. What a work of art, and a "labour of love"
knowing it won't last.
Top-posting-Mike, have you never seen the annual "well dressing"
pictures in Derbyshire?

I'm afraid I think that if anyone other than I had posted that it would have
elicited a different response, Pam. ;-)

I went with the local Civil Service Pensioners Alliance to Arundel to the
Festival of the Flowers and thought the same thing then. Have you seen the
minute detail? Flowers pulled off their stems? Small bits of evergreen
hedging for the background? I am not disputing the art, but would you be so
ecstatic if your children/neighbour's children had made a 'Work of art' on
your path with the heads of your flowers? In the words of a long since
vanished troll "I think not"

Kindest possible regards

Sory Mike, I think it is a labour of love, for just a second think of
the work on creating the pattern, probably from an ancient Eastern one
by the looks of it. It faithfully reproduces the colours, no mean
feat and texture of the real thing. I have a couple of antique rugs/
carpets, and I can see just how much work went into the detail on this
design. I love it and I think it is a masterpiece, not just of the
designers but those who grew and raised the plants.

It will last an entire Summer, think of the joy and gasps of pleasure
that this will bring to so many. Dear me Pam, I often wonder if some
people have a soul!!!! Perhaps we should all stop growing bedding
plants, "as they don't last"!!!!!
Tut Tut.

And you should never have cut flowers in your house (which would do a lot of
damage to the economies of various countries) nor should any country have
its flowers festivals, thus reducing tourism attractions. When the world is
a uniform grey perhaps 'some' people will be satisfied!

Agreed.

Just a pity we do not get see a view of the whole arrangement.

Yesterday I saw a large white van covered with plastic flowers, it had a
certain charm - for me :-)

Judith, I wasn't the one who complained, it was top-posting-john.
I thought it was beautiful and said so.

Pete, I think we lose a lot just looking at the pic, we need to use
imagination and even then we can't imagine the beauty of the plants,
close up, I so wish I could see and touch it!
