Web roundup - St. Basil’s bulb mosaic
St. Basil’s in bulbs - His Excellency Mr K.G. Gevorgian, Russian ambassador to the Netherlands, joined forces with staff at Keukenhof, the historic Dutch flower bulb park, to add the final touches to a flower bulb mosaic. The mosaic (21 by 12 m, 65,000 flower bulbs) presents an impression of the towers of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow’s Red Square. You can do simpler projects with children, youth and community groups, such as labyrinths and secret messages in the lawn. See Build a bulb labyrinth activity for more information.
