John and Molly Titus, Peachtree Corners, quickly recognized the latest Mystery: “It is the plant sculpture of a Madonna figure in the Atlanta Botanical Garden. No matter how many times we see it, it always inspires.” The photo came from Barbara McRoberts of Douglasville, via Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Lots of others recognized it, including Marsha Bomar, Duluth; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Wally Watson, Stone Mountain; Steve Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Jon Davis, Duluth; Kay Montgomery, Duluth; Lindsey Borenstein, Atlanta; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Barbara Myers Mason, Big Canoe; Jim Cofer, Birmingham, Ala.; and Lou Camerio, Lilburn;
Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. gave more detail: ‘The Ice Goddess, a 25-foot horticulture sculpture that is part of the spectacular holiday light display Garden Nights, Holiday Lights at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Atlanta, GA. An annual event that first started in 2010, this is the 13th time this exhibit has been at the botanical gardens and is open now through January 14, 2023. There are over 25,000 LEDs used to light up the Ice Goddess, and more than 1.5 million lights across the entire Garden Nights Holiday Lights exhibit. Interestingly, in order to ensure that the plants that make up the Ice Goddess are able to survive the frigid temperatures that Atlanta sometimes see during the winter months, garden engineers have strategically placed heating elements inside Ice Goddess’s head and hand to keep the exhibit from freezing over.”
