Each summer, Anchorage comes alive with big, bright flowers that paint the landscape in bold hues. The city plants 461 flower beds and hanging baskets at 81 sights. Stroll along any of the sidewalks between Second and Sixth Avenues to enjoy the 425 baskets of gold triploid marigold drenched with trailing sapphire lobelia – see why garden writers call Anchorage the “” The blue and gold flowers represent the colors of the Municipality of Anchorage, the State of Alaska and the state flag.
