The Sound of Flowers

Dan Corson

First, there were the cell towers that look (vaguely) like trees. Now, in Seattle, there's an artistic installation of cartoon-like flowers that are actually solar powered and that create not only power but light and sound (story, lots of pix): http://www.designboom.com/art/dan-corsons-solar-powered-flower-installation-sonic-bloom/
