Missouiri Botanical Garden, St. Louis has Mr Toad and his friends all over the orchid display area. Mr. Toad and his buddies can be seen fishing, having a picnic and arriving at the hotel in Toad's car. The youngsters who were there with their parents really seemed to enjoy the displays.

Thanks alot SKAM- this garden is one of the most amazing I have seen. I am sure there are others around the country that rival it, but St. Louis is very proud of MoBot Garden

Those fellas look to be a fair size. What a delightful idea to have them at there. Are they based on "Wind in the Willows"--I remember the show from when my sons were little. Seems to me there is/are book(s) by that name too. Wonderful capture--you've captured the whimsy of the scene very well.

Not sure about "Wind in the Willows" and I don't really remember Mr. Toad except that it may have been a Disney World ride that I took my daughter on a few decades ago

I immediately thought of Wind in the Willows, too! This is a great, whimsical shot, Gerrit!
