The Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Imaginary Worlds, Plants Larger Than Life!

There is an amazing exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. It is called "Imaginary Worlds, Plants Larger Than Life." It is a partnership between the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the International Mosaiculture of Montreal. Each piece is a living sculpture. Their steel armatures are covered with a special fabric containing planting pockets for plugging in thousands of tiny plants of varying color and texture. This exhibit will be at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens through October. Throughout the garden, dedicated volunteers provide interesting information about the exhibits!

There was an enormous butterfly.

Even a butterfly needs grooming to stay in shape!

The cobra was huge and had the most interesting color pattern of succulent plants

He must be 12 feet tall!

Here is a close up of the cobra's pattern on his body, all made from living plants!

This gnome looks like he escaped from the book "Where the wild things are" by Maurice Sendak.

There were 6 rabbits roaming in the grass,

and some very happy fruit

even a unicorn grazing

a big shaggy dog 

and a 25 foot tall Earth Goddess beside the waterfalls of the Cascades Garden.

In this video, two giant 'fish' are dancing around a pond!

This garden is found on the roof of the gift shop. 

Right after I took this picture, it started to rain, no one had to water the plants today!
