Clocks - or daily rituals: eating, working, arrivals/departures
The floral clock in Victoria Square, Christchurch, New Zealand, has been keeping time since the mid-1950s. Over 7,000 plants are planted every spring and autumn.
Clockwork Goofy, Made in Italy.
Next month's theme is Waymarkers.
I love floral clocks! It is such a good way to showcase plants and design. There are two near me and I head out every year to see the design. Though, a cuckoo bird with attitude... :)
ReplyDeleteIn the back of my mind I have a memory of seeing one. I think it was in British Columbia. Maybe Butchart Gardens many years ago. Seems a likely place. The cuckoo has the right idea if it keeps Goofy from attempting a repair!
DeleteThe floral clock in Victoria Square is such a unique concept – a beautiful display of nature doubling as a timepiece. It must be amazing to see in person all those plants and flowers in bloom!
ReplyDeleteThere must be a gardener working full time to keep it neat and tidy, and working!
Deletewhat a gorgeous clock, the first one! and a funny one too :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a floral clock in person.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a beauty. But thinking of the work it must take to keep up. There is a floral clock in the Niagara region of Ontario, although I don't know how far from the falls it is. They change out the flowers twice a year.
A floral clock is a beautiful idea!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child, owning a cuckoo clock would be a dream!
There used to be a Goofy watch. It ran backwards. I wonder if those are still around. I'm amazed by the garden clock.
ReplyDeleteI love big extravagant displays of flowers like on your clock.
ReplyDelete...it's gorgeous, but I don't think that my grandchildren could tell time with it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous floral clock, something I always associate with the exuberant floral displays of seaside resorts.
