Escargatoire


What is this I see as I head down the main path at the Desert Botanical Garden.


It appears to be some giant snails!


Did you know that a group of snails is called an escargatoire?  I didn't.  
The snails were present at this exhibit to share a message of regeneration.

I did not know either. No slime I hope... ;-)

They are much more colourful than the ones that show up in my garden.:)

I have a story about escargot and a giant snail but . . . some other time. I like these and all of the sculptures in the Garden.

I like the snails, very nice and colourful. I didn't know that about the group name. When I've seen snails, they are usually by themselves.

Colorful, as they should be to be able to compete with the rest of the objects in the Garden.

Escargatoire!? That's a new one.
I like that little orange upside down one in your second shot. The clear, bright colors in all these sculptures are nice.
