The flower bed at an intersection in Bahar ic-Caghaq took around two months to complete and is never maintained.
From a Pete Seeger song I take the liberty to borrow a few lines and ask the Naxxar council: "Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?"
