Flower Drop is a performance by Molly Haslund that takes place along MOVIA's line 2A in Copenhagen. Wearing a formal suit, Molly Haslund moves around the bus lines and bus stops carrying a large bouquet of sunflowers, peonies and roses.

The colourful flowers attract the attention of the surrounding passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. Occasionally, she drops a single flower that she doesn't immediately notice as she continues on her way through the city.
