What flowers can you see in No.3?

No. 2 is a bit naughty - not famous, a teaser.

It is the UK, but not Bath. It's the only photo I could find that wasn't a complete giveaway to almost any Brit!

It's the Bluebell Walk at Kew Garden.

No. 2 is in Thailand - google away, as I can't remember where!

Is it at Muang Boran in Samut Prakan?
That's more of a guess than I actually remember seeing it there.

Real question - What links them together ? (besides the fact they've all had statues made of them)
