Brussels rolls out massive 'flower carpet'

STORY: This massive flower carpet

is a staple in Brussels

It's been laid out in front of city hall

every two years since 1971

This year, organizers had to adapt to the intense heat

swapping out the usual florals for more resistant ones

100 volunteers spent over six hours making it

400,000 flowers were used to make

the more than 18,000 square-foot display
