A Botanical Timekeeper - The Flower Clock

The clock, situated at a corner of the Jardin Anglais, was created for the first time in 1955 and contains about 12,000 flowers and plants. The floral arrangements change according to the season. The flower clock is not only pretty, it also tells the time with Swiss precision - the time you see is transmitted by satellite. Another important detail - the seconds-hand is 2.5 metres long, the world’s longest!
