The Floral Heart Project display on Church Street A colorful display on Burlington s Church Street caused passersby to pause, pull out their smartphones and take photos on Monday. Orange roses and fuchsia phalaenopsis orchids had been placed on the bricks in the shape of a heart. Dozens more roses surrounded the heart and extended down the pedestrian walkway. Each represented one of the more than 200 Vermonters who have died from COVID-19 since the disease struck the state nearly a year ago. It often feels like we re just talking about numbers and tallies, said creator Jayson Munn, a florist who mainly works weddings and other events. I thought this was a great opportunity to do it in the public square.
