The aurora borealis is an evocative phenomenon found in the zones influenced by the magnetic poles of the two hemispheres, especially in spring and autumn.
The sky lights up with nuances of yellowish green and red in a sinuous arc, with brighter and more vivid colours the farther northwards you go.
The Finnish capital has recreated this magic with a soft play of colour and movement, using flowers that reprise the chromatic ranges of this natural phenomenon such as impatiens, Alternanthera, surfinia, etc.
