Starring in 'Minions & Monsters,' the latest release in Illumination's animated Minions' franchise, Irene wreaks havoc when her gelatinous form is unleashed in Hollywood. In this blooming interpretation of the film, she looms large over a typical domestic garden, her voluminous body rising like a tsunami from the simple urban design. Benny has collaborated with talented floral artists from the Institute of Flowers to create this towering sculpture of living flowers. Incorporating kalanchoes, alstroemerias, chrysanthemums, germinis, lilies and more, they bring Irene and the Minions to life in this unique planting scheme that celebrates the release of the next exciting instalment in this much-loved series.
