Awesome, I'm not sure how I feel about those dragon flies, but we shall see how they are presented, and put in with the Spring Bloom Festival. Loving it!
That Safari Village sign is wonderful, it's much better than the Congo sign, Sometimes I felt like I was walking into a warzone. They also added similar fencing to the backing of the letters to the right and left, if you look closely. I really, really hope they keep this logo, seeing that it'll be the floral clock's logo reassured me a bit, but I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see.
I think they'll be fine as long as they're in the ground a bit and sorta in the background. It looks like there is going to be "big" fake plants places around the area. So I'm sure between the mix of the fake and real and the dragon flies, it will all mix together really well.
Looks like the park went with the clock mechanism that has the hour, minute, and second hands (some just have the hour and minute hands only). Can't tell exactly since the arms are lined up and are in shadow; but, it looks like the hour and minute hands are planters themselves. Might have plants growing out of them!
As far as the dragon flies go, it appears they have eyelets on the top of the bodies/tails to suspend them in air.

I'm sure, like Evan said that they'll still blend in with their surrounding environment. It's not like BG who has no regards to where they're putting it.
I'd like to touch back on something Mwhinva said. Now that I look closely at the Hour and Minute hand, it does look like they have some dirt in them! It looks like they are going to be planters, themselves alone!
The old clock had plants in the clock arms so I really wouldn't doubt that we won't see the same again!
Here is the picture for a quick comparison to anyone who is unfamiliar to what we're talking about. Yes I do see it had plants in the hour and minute hand, it also had the second hand. Very cool!
The bushes, yes, but the flowers, and grass and everything should fill the area by the time we hit Summer or so..

I beg to differ. You can not compare if they have a regard or not at to where they may put something when you don't even know where it will be placed. For all anyone knows, those dragonflies could have their butts sticking in your face all over the place.
Whatever, I remain optimistic that they will not, because they seem to be sensible lately, unlike BG.
Gonna put a cork in the BGW discussion before things get ugly. ;-P
It looks like the Singing Mushrooms will have some interesting new touches from when they were last seen! First off, it looks like there will be some new animated features. As seen here, all of the mushrooms' mustaches are level.
...but as seen in their wonderful-looking new planter, the two smaller mushrooms' mustaches are crooked in different directions:
So, it looks like their mustaches will move around as well!
Also, looking at this picture of the original Singing Mushrooms from TPR below:
...the planter for the new mushrooms looks to be much closer to the guest pathway than the old one, which is definitely a good thing. Hopefully the green fence (just like what was around them originally) will deter people from getting all touchy.
