A laminated sign for the 2011 Festival of Flowers attached to a wooden planter. The plants in the planter are dry and dead. The photographer comments, "The theme for the 2011 Festival of Flowers was 'burst! of water'.

Ironically the plants for the festival were left unattended in the cordoned off red zone and they would have loved a little burst of water".
