The world’s largest flower parade takes place every year in the Netherlands. Its called Bloemencorso Zundert and it returned this past Sunday. In honor of the 125th anniversary of Vincent Van Gogh’s death—the famous painter was born in Zundert, the Netherlands—the 2015 Zundert Flower Parade featured 19 jaw-dropping flower floats inspired by Van Gogh’s life and work.
“The gigantic floats are made from steel wire, cardboard, paper-mache, and thousands of colorful dahlia flowers. Per tradition, dahlias are the only flower allowed to decorate the floats and are grown by Zundert’s participating hamlets. Zundert currently grows 81 acres of dahlia bulbs from 50 different species,” reports inhabitat.com.
