A WONDERLAND

OF GIANT SILK FLOWERS

These hand-sewn silk flowers

are oversized and on display

at the Chinese Lantern Festival

at Missouri Botanical Garden.

Beautiful and unique on their own,

each flower is carefully placed

throughout the garden,

and wired to glow from within

after dark.

Each flower transforms into

a silk lantern.

The best time to visit this festival

is at night!
