The days were brightened and the nights were lit up at the Missouri Botanical Garden {St. Louis} last year as it hosted a spectacle rarely staged outside Asia!

An array of 26 larger-than-life lighted works of art from China were crafted from over 72,000 feet of silk and 40 tons of steel to celebrate Chinese culture and fable. Truly magnificent!

Anyone in the mood for a cuppa tea or two?!
