Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis

This geodesic dome is the dominant structure at the Garden, and holds a collection of tropical plants. The colorful floating objects are glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly called "Walla Walla Onions". Some of Chihuly's work is being displayed at the garden until the first of the year.

I'm going to have to agree with you, those onions remind me of floating mines. I'm sure they're lovely in their own right, but it almost makes me think the two statues are turning away in alarm.
