This work of art is eye-catching. A colorful flowering tree located on Place Antonin Poncet in downtown Lyon. It blends in very well with the surroundings and adds to the beauty of the place.

The "Flower Tree" is a sculpture of the Korean Jeong Hwa Choi who was re-installed on the Place Antonin Poncet. The bouquet of flowers had been acclaimed by the Lyonnais during the Biennale 2003.

Installed where she was at the biennale, its location remains a debate in Lyon and the architects of the monuments of France would like to see it move, "the architect of the Buildings of France having declared that it hindered the perspective of the dock. "

This sculpture consists of a painted stainless steel pole, a trunk of polyester resin and a steel circular structure receiving 85 flowers in polyester resin. The work is six meters high, consisting of a trunk 1.60 meters high and a sphere 6.5 meters in circumference, on which are fixed the flowers. "
