In the middle of the desert, Dubai grew the largest natural flower garden on Earth.
It blooms with more than 50 million flowers — including a full-size replica of an Airbus A380 covered head to tail in half a million living plants.
A city ringed by sand, somehow buried in colour.
Even nature here is staged on a scale nowhere else attempts.
