I took these photos back in 2004 at The Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio. This was the first exhibit of Chihuly glass I had ever seen in a garden setting. I see that they are now called The Franklin Park Conservatory & Chihuly Collection. Looks like we may have to visit Columbus soon.
These pictures were taken in July 2006 at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis Missouri.
This is my favorite botanical garden. I got to actually hold a piece of the glass while I was here. Can you tell that seeing this glass really makes my day?
I have another mosaic or 2 from this exhibit that I will be sharing next Monday.
Thank you Mary at Little Red House for hosting Mosaic Monday. Please be sure to check out her blog to see some beautiful mosaics from all over the blogging world.
Until next time,

Gorgeous shots of the glass pieces. Stunning, so colorful! Enjoyed your post!
I had never heard of this type of glass, not seen it. I especially adore the ones that float in water. Thank you so much for bringing these to my attention.
Those are some beautiful glass pieces! Have a great new week...Kathy
I LOVE Chihuly's works....we have a few pieces in the Kemper Contemporary Art Museum in Kansas City...my husband and I love to wander the country looking for waterfalls...it would be fun to include Chihuly's works.
I have never seen anything as beautiful as these! Very colorful too!

These are so beautiful. I can see why you like it. The glass in the first mosaic is so vivid. I really like the colors. It is fabulous.

I am not familiar with this beautiful glass! I would love to know more! I too am a gardener. I hail from Oklahoma, but live in Texas. Sounds like we're about the same age, judging from your sidebar. My grown daughters live in the Tulsa area.

The glass is beautiful. I've never seen it or heard of it, so thank you.
