These incredible horticulture works of art are created for the international competition in Mosaiculture in Montreal Botanical Garden, Canada where 48 Mosiacultures are on display till September 29th covering about 185 acre of the garden.

These are ideal for those who love to decorate walls with plates or simply use them to share a scone with a friend!
