Say it with flowers
|
England rugby star Jonny Wilkinson has been given the ultimate accolade - a giant floral tribute.
The World Cup hero has had his famous hand-rubbing stance recreated using more than 10,000 plants.
The sculpture, made up of white flowers and shrubbery, was designed by horiculturists in Doncaster for the annual Britain in Bloom competition.
Standing 13ft tall, it shows the fly-half as he prepares to kick a penalty, complete with flowery ball.
It's not clear what will happen to the structure once the competition is over, although it's unlikely to end up in Australia.
Wilkinson, meanwhile, is continuing to make excellent progress from his neck and shoulder problem, scoring 15 points for Newcastle against Worcester on Sunday.
You could almost say he's starting to blossom again.
