Flower Power

We went to a free Earth Day concert a few weeks back. I took a few pictures of this giant flower sculpture that was in the park where the concert was held. I thought it looked cool. I wasn't sure at the time, but I could have sworn that the flower had been more open earlier in the day and started to close. I found out later from my Top 10 Buenos Aires book that it is actually quite a famous sculpture. It is called the Floralis Generica and was made by an Argentine sculptor, Eduardo Catalano. The flower actually blooms at 8 AM and closes at dusk. I was relieved to learn that I was not completely insane.
