Picture of union jack flowerbed Leeds.I noticed this flowerbed laid out with the flowers in the colours of the union jack (or union flag) whilst heading into Leeds city centre a few days back.
With the olympics almost here there has been this year a real surge in the number of flags on display. I think personally that it is unfortunate that most of the bunting and smaller flags are made from plastic, urghh! That said I was pleased to see this nice organic flag. The flowerbed is cut into a slope that is not itself straight, so the size is quite deceptive. I measured it rather crudely by walking it out, its about 30 feet by 20 feet, thats really feet and mine are size 10.
Having traveled into Leeds on the bus so I could get out and walk to this place I could not take a ladder with me to get some height and a better perspective. The flowerbed is just along from the hotel Ibis on Kirkstall Rd.

Beautifully laid out! I remember the White Rose of Yorkshire flowerbed in the Spa park in Harrogate.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful scene and must have taken some time for someone to complete. Wish there were more flowerbed displays like this stateside.
