What can you do with 100 million flowers?
Decorate me with them and I'll still be ugly.
In three weeks, Beijing will start decorating the streets with 100 million flowers.
The flowers will be placed:
1. around Olympic stadiums
2. along main roads
3. at Tiananmen Square together with 40 million plants
Blue and white flowers are the preferred colors since they are the most popular colors in flags around the world.
Lucky clouds, from the Beijing torch, place in red grass next to the Water Cube.
A total of 576 breeds of flowers were selected:
1. rose
2. pansy
3. morning glory
4. zinnia
In order to ensure all the plants bloom on key, some have been genetically altered.
