My Steampunk version of a waving vibrant flower.
I build this as a birthday gift for my wife.
The jiggling flower shows the unbridled and raw force of our nature and elements.

This version carries as a result of the bloom flower form the name Key Flower.

First of all take a look on this video to see enchanting effect of this flower.
