interesting place, flower clock
Formerly known as the "Flower Clock" -- a working giant clock with its facets -- designed as a flowering garden. The numbers on the clock face were all designed out of plants and flowers, while the hour, minute, and second hands were made of metal.
In mid-2010, The Flower Clock had stopped working, leaving only plants, and being redesigned in December 2011, rechristened as "World-Class Filipinos Bloom".
