The Bloemencorse flower festival in Zundert, Netherlands will seriously make your jaw drop - I for one was completely blown away! Every year since 1936, scores of volunteers bundle their efforts to build the most dazzling floral floats full of flawless Dahlias - a perennial plant that is native to Mexico. This is what they came up with this year. |
|
This year's theme was inspired by native born Vincent Van Gogh. Last year's theme was pretty magnificent too - if you've got a soft spot for flowers combined with art, check out Zundert's flower parade for 2014 here. |
The flowers on each float are put together just a week before the parade (as the Dahlias can only remain fresh for so long), which was held last Sunday September 6th. |

During the Zundert Flower Parade, the town pulls out all the stops, with all kinds of music and theatre for the crowd's enjoyment. |
