That picture is just amazing and it is mind boggling to think of the planning and all it took to form something like that! They need to be applauded for making something that beautiful.

That was a good link, Toni. That sort of activity is popular here. That carpet of begonias is very beautiful to see.
Thanks for showing this.

What a wonderful sight and how cleverly worked out. I love begonias, one of my favourites, maybe I could be inspired to create something like that in my own garden Laughing (I don't think so Very Happy )

Just think of all the gardens, needed to support such a sight. Or perhaps one really big one.
