  Why pink?

  Maybe a reminder of what they're patching up, damage from the war?

  They are called that because of the unique mortar fragmentation pattern left in the concrete that resembles a flower arrangement. They are red because of the red resin that they are filled with.

  they chose red I guess as a symbol for the people who were killed by those mortars. It's a pretty creepy way to pay your respects if you ask me

  symbolic of the people who were killed by morter fire from the surrounding hills, many of which were civilians
