Mini gardeners #2

Jaune dropped some mini gardeners in the neighbourhood of Gentbrugge in Gent. The goal is to pay a tribute to Louis van Houtte, a botanist from the 19th century who brought a lot of tropical plant from South America to Belgium, at a time when it couldn’t be delivered in less than 3 working days. He travelled to Brazil in a boat, trudge in the jungle for days to find unknown plants, made it's way back to Gent just to bring back flowers. Just imagine.
