@Emily @Patricia A couple of years ago, I walked down the road with colleagues from the US and we came across some, so I pointed them out. They liked the idea.
But then a few days later one of them game back to me to say that once I had pointed them out, she could see them everywhere, and there were so many of them.
I think that's the point right there. One is a symbol, sure. But to see them everywhere is the lesson.
(Part of history lessons in school was to find the ones in town, FWIW.)
