Today was the last day of the week in which several giant tulips were “planted” in Coventry City centre. The huge artificial flowers were lit night and day, adding some more charm to the city.
The aim of the beautiful decoration was to hail the upcoming spring. The flowers were widely discussed throughout the city. From a distance, their bulbs resembled huge red spots on the foreground of the cloudy, iron-grey sky. What brought the tulips to the city centre was Jigantics, who ploughs many of the company’s funds back into running a community project based around creative arts internationally, including the Giant Puppet Project in Cambodia and The Book Bus in Zambia.
Along with the symbol of Coventry, Lady Godiva, whose statue is also in Broadgate, the flowers could also be considered a warming up for International Women’s Day on the 8th March.
