Rotating Flowerheads - winning feature ?


A recent development in the plants evolution has been the configuring of flower heads that rotate in the wind, inspired by fans from car radiators and office fans.To do this I have devised a simple loose shaft and split pin system to connect the reclaimed fan elements to the plant stems. 



















After a walk with the plant in a stiff breeze where the larger bi-coloured flower head hurtled round behind me, I am confident this dynamic cultural detail will impress the judges.

 

















Who knows if a breeze picks up at Chelsea next week the rotating flower heads could clinch the ‘Plant of the Year' trophy!
