If you are ever in Frankfort, Kentucky, you have to check out this floral clock! It's located on the State Capitol grounds. It was dedicated in 1961, and was a joint project of the Commonwealth and Garden Club of Kentucky.
Here are some fascinating facts about it: over 10,000 plants are used to decorate the face. The planter is 34 feet in diameter and weighs 200,000 pounds! The minute hand is 20 1/2 feet long and weighs 530 pounds, while the hour hand is 15 1/2 feet long and weighs 420 pounds!
There is no cost to see it.
Probably requires constant maintenance.

Deletevery cool I did like Alex's comment on Daylight Savings. Hmmm. Oh well, I'm sure some KY gov't worker gets paid plenty for this job.
