Not Quite Imaginary Frogs

A couple of days ago I blogged about "Imaginary Worlds" at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. If you've not yet been to see the exhibition, be sure to pop into the Orchid Center lobby to see the plant sculpture frogs! No, they're not part of Imaginary Worlds...they're much more!

The frog sculptures in the Orchid Center lobby are not part of the Imaginary Worlds exhibition, but they're just as brilliant in their own right. They are the re-imagined "Frelves" (frog elves) from the "Garden Lights, Holiday Nights" exhibition, displayed within a re-purposed Orchid Daze exhibition!

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see the Garden re-use material from previous exhibitions...but more so to see it re-used so brilliantly! And it's great to see frogs represented, given the Garden's amphibian research and conservation efforts.

So, yes...the frog sculptures in the Orchid Center lobby are "larger than life", they're just not part of the Imaginary Worlds exhibition, but I do think they're a brilliant accompaniment to the exhibition, as I'm sure you will.
