Graffiti is something that is usually recommended. But yesterday the sidewalk from Norwich sprayed with bright yellow paint - and the perpetrators rather not be.
Heads turned as she held Tombland spray cans and stencils of flowers painted on the road.
Then Fr James Walsh, Dean of the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and the Dean of Norwich Cathedral, Very Rev Graham Smith, helped put the touch of their work in London Street.
For the first time the historical places of worship have joined forces to use flower power to raise funds for a hat-trick project.
And trace a stencil has been made throughout the town to guide visitors along the path of interest between the two places.
Friday was the first day of Embracing the World - Two Cathedrals Festival.
One year of planning, hundreds of flower arrangers from around the region have been involved and hoped that the event, which runs until Monday, will attract up to 30,000 visitors.
The dean of the cathedral met early last year to seek ways in which they can improve their relationship when they want to show the benefits of all religions to work together towards the same goal.
Design in Norwich Cathedral, by Anne Colchester and Trish Mayhew, will focus on famous people in the world, with traditional style, while those in St. John's Roman Catholic Cathedral, by Mary Daykin, will represent the countries of the world in a series of interest modern.
At Norwich Cathedral, which does not have any flower festival for 10 years, there will be 100 exhibition organized by the 246 flower arrangers, the Salvation Army and Tim Flowers Colby Elementary School students.
During the other side of town there will be 75 exhibition organized by flower arrangers 100, the Salvation Army and the students of Notre Dame Tim Flowers.
Approximately 12,000 flowers will be used in all the clubs and interest from all regions were invited to take part.
The festival is billed as a celebration of the importance of flowers in our rural heritage and skills of the volunteers who make the cathedral look beautiful throughout the year.
Sue Nicholson, the festival committee, paid tribute to those who have worked behind the scenes.
He said: "Organizing the festival has been a steep learning curve. It's hard work and we only have a relatively short time to put together.
"Roman Catholic Cathedral has decided to have a festival of flowers and the Anglican cathedral to have one too," he explained. "It think it would be a good idea if the two merged."
Going to this event with a 'passport' which can be purchased in advance from EDP branch offices (newspaper publisher, Archant, is one of the supporters of the event) and Jarrolds or on the day.
Costing £ 7, it applies for entry into both places.
The money generated by the event will go towards the improvement projects at both the cathedral and the East Anglia Air Ambulance.
Norwich Cathedral, which more than 900 years, has been described as "truly an icon of spirituality, heritage and beauty, as well as one of the best examples of Roman architecture in Europe."
Its Inspiration for the Future campaign working to develop and improve education and visitor facilities.
The first phase of the project - the dining room and extension to the library, designed by Sir Michael Hopkins - opened to the public in April 2004.
The second phase of this project is Hostry - education and visitor center.
This will provide two special classrooms and the wider community room that will allow the cathedral to expand educational activities.
There will also be exhibition space and purpose-school and choir designed disabled facilities and will increase access to all facilities of the cathedral. It's hoped that building work will commence in 2007.
Campaign in the Roman Catholic Cathedral Church of St. John the Baptist focus on the new Narthex to provide an education center, community space and improved access to the cathedral.
The project includes a new interpretive center and the restoration of part of the cathedral, allowing an expansion of educational programs for schools and for adults and groups of special interest.
The third recipient of the flower festival, the East Anglian Air Ambulance, 365 days to provide emergency cover across the region.
Victims of trauma or other emergencies have a much better chance of recovery if they have medical treatment in the first 60 minutes - which is known as the golden hour - and the air ambulance will help ensure that more victims are reached within this critical period.
East Anglia is one of the largest areas in the UK, which covers 5000 square miles and a top speed of 132mph air ambulance can reach patients anywhere very fast. The crew are trained to stabilize them ready to be transferred to the hospital.
Larger air ambulance had come into the service with a variety of new medical equipment, which allows teams to perform more procedures.
Extra space means also has room to pick up passengers required. But the cost to run the new aircraft is higher.
Cost £ 110,000 per month to remain in the air, so fundraising is even more important now as a charity entirely dependent on fundraising and donations from community members.
A mile-long Floral Walk between the two cathedrals - dubbed the city the equivalent of the Yellow Brick Road - the route that connected displays created by businesses and residents, especially for the festival weekend rates as a response to a competition held by Norwich in Bloom.
Required in Tombland, Queen Street, London St, St Giles Street, Upper St Giles Street and the bridge over the Grapes Hill and there will be a window display in Jarrolds.
And local crafts and food market held by Produced in Norfolk, which will fill the cloisters of Norwich Cathedral with an array of tempting goods.
Produced in Norfolk has more than 140 members of the company's contemporary blacksmith to create hand-woven scarves. Was established with the purpose to protect against the loss of rural craft skills and to identify artisans craft and food products actually made in Norfolk.
It's a not-for-profit cooperative producers and a lot of work done by local people who work voluntarily in the region.
The work of this organization is supported by Defra, and aims to protect jobs in 1000 rural areas and to create a more sustainable tourism and a more sustainable economy for the rural parts of Norfolk.
And to complement the festival there will be two concerts - one in each cathedral.
Mrs Nicholson said: "We think that it is a unique event - we've never heard of it happening before, and not much the city has two cathedrals."
t Opening times at both cathedrals: Friday 10-7; Saturday 10-6; Sunday: 12.30pm-6pm (festival evensong in Norwich Cathedral at 6:30); Monday 10-5. The last entry will be one hour before closing every day.
