Carrots normally weigh no more than 400-500 grams the largest… or so is commonly believed. The reality is that English farmer Peter Glazebrook harvested one in 2014 that broke all records. With a weight of 9,1kg, got into the Guinness Book of Records.

Floral rugs are wonderful regardless of the space they occupy, but can you imagine seeing or having one made up of more than 126.000 copies of 11 different varieties of poinsettia or Poinsettia occupying more than 14.000 square meters of land? Well, that's what they did in Morelos (Mexico), and the truth is that it turned out very, very pretty.
