Although They Last Just Four Days Before Wilting,

that does not stop dozens of volunteers every other August,


 in Brussels to compose a 19,000-square-foot, floral rug that blankets the central square, the massive installation is woven with one million begonias, a flower that Belgium is the largest producer of worldwide,

 although the 2020 edition of the “Flower Carpet” event has been postponed, Berlin-based Joerg Daiber, of Spoon Film, captured the 2018 iteration in a short timelapse that shows how the vibrant tapestry is fabricated,

Daiber adds a bit of whimsy to his film, though, with a tilt-shift effect, which makes all the volunteers, spectators, and surrounding architecture appear as miniatures, 

“The film was shot from three buildings around the Grand Place in Brussels, but most of the shots were taken from the 90-meter-high tower of the Brussels Town Hall,” the filmmaker told PetaPixel, how amazing, all of that work and in just 4 days they have wilted!
